The ARC Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment & Facilities (LIEF) scheme encourages institutions (universities) to develop collaborative arrangements across the higher education sector and with organisations outside the sector in order to develop research infrastructure.

LIEF supports budget items which directly support provision of infrastructure, equipment and facilities for use in research projects, including:

  1. animal houses, herbaria, experimental farms.

  2. integrated research facilities consisting of multiple components which can be used either simultaneously or serially for research projects (where each of these research projects is integrated by having a single research aim or theme).

  3. international facilities, consortium membership or subscription costs, approved by the ARC under an international agreement including costs associated with the establishment, upgrading, and/or operation appropriate to Australia’s participation in the use of the facility.

  4. major national research facilities, consortium membership or subscription costs, including reasonable operational costs directly relevant to the research program (where subscriptions cover such costs or where membership of a major national facility incurs an obligation that cannot be funded by other means).

  5. library and research information infrastructure (non-capital aspects only) to support specific research projects/programs which may also include salaries and minor pieces of equipment to build an integrated facility.

  6. purchase, upgrade, construction, transportation of, installation of, maintenance of and/or management of access to the infrastructure, equipment and facilities, including salaries and/or on costs directly associated with these activities.

  7. data compilations, catalogues or bibliographies directly linked to the needs of competitively funded projects/programs.

The NHMRC TRIP Fellowship provides support for health care professionals (e.g. medical specialists, general practitioners, public health practitioners, physiotherapists, nurses, midwives, radiologists, and other allied health providers), health care personnel (health service managers, hospital department leaders, clinical trial managers) and policy makers to translate evidence into health care and public health improvements.

The Fellowship provides protected time for Fellows to develop the range of skills needed for leadership in research translation and to apply evidence to improve health care and/or public health. The TRIP Fellowship scheme is therefore aimed at developing early to mid-career applicants wishing to combine research translation with their career and is not designed to support applicants already established as health care leaders.

The DSCP incorporates the former Diverse Australia Program and the National Action Plan to Build on Social Cohesion, Harmony and Security community grants. It provides the additional resources often needed by not-for-profit community organisations to develop their own projects and find their own ways of helping their community build stronger relations.

There are two aims for the DSCP funding:

Aim 1 - to promote respect, fairness and a sense of belonging for Australians of every race, culture and religion. This aim primarily focuses on the promotion of inter-community harmony and understanding.

Aim 2 - to develop the community capacity-building skills of specific community groups under significant pressure due to their cultural, religious or racial diversity. This aim primarily focuses on supporting specific communities with the purpose of building their social cohesion capacity and/or to promote their positive contribution to Australia.


Funding
Generally, funding for individual projects of up to $50,000 is available to incorporated, not-for-profit organisations, seeking to address issues involving prejudices that might lead to racial discrimination, and that affects social cohesion and community harmony in the local area.

Funding of up to $5000 is also available for individual projects under the Multicultural Arts and Festivals Grants.

Eligibility
Projects should provide opportunities for interaction between members of different communities and for all people to participate in Australian social and cultural life. Please refer to the Program Guidelines (PDF) for more detailed eligibility criteria.


Submission

The Australia & Pacific Science Foundation provides support, on a competitive basis, to encourage high quality research by scientists in Australian national or state institutions, and similar institutions in other countries of the south west Pacific.

Occasional support may also be given to such activities as training, publications or conferences. Travel expenses for attendance at conferences are not funded, nor are expenses associated with the participation of scientists from countries other than that of the recipient institution.

Foundation grants may also be used to support specific components of large projects financed primarily by other agencies, though if the project is a sub-project of a larger investigation it must be sufficiently discrete for the outputs and outcomes to be independently evaluated. (Projects that may be seminal to subsequent larger grants from other sources are attractive to the Foundation.)


Funding & Duration

Typically, grants are awarded at up to $15,000 per year for up to three years.


Submission

The opportunity uses the R01 Research Project Grant (R01) funding mechanism.


Purpose of Grant

The purpose of this opportunity is to inform the scientific community of the pain research interests of the various Institutes and Centers (ICs) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and to stimulate and foster a wide range of basic, clinical, and translational studies on pain as they relate to the missions of these ICs. New advances are needed in every area of pain research, from the micro perspective of molecular sciences to the macro perspective of behavioural and social sciences. Although great strides have been made in some areas, such as the identification of neural pathways of pain, the experience of pain and the challenge of treatment have remained uniquely individual and unsolved.

The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program supports qualified young scientists at leading universities and research centers around the world who wish to receive training in cancer immunology. A panel of scientists drawn from our Scientific Advisory Council rigorously evaluates each candidate, the intended sponsor and training environment, and the nature and feasibility of the proposed project.

The fellowship program is aligned with the overall mission of the Cancer Research Institute to support and coordinate both laboratory and clinical efforts that will lead to immunological treatment, control, and prevention of cancer. The Institute is seeking hypothesis driven, mechanistic studies in both immunology and tumor immunology. The applicant and sponsor must clearly state the potential of the proposed studies to directly impact our understanding of the immune system’s role in cancer risk, tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, host response to tumors and/or the treatment of cancer.

Eligibility

  • Applicants for the CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program must be working in areas directly related to cancer immunology.
  • Applicants must have a doctoral degree by the date of award activation and must conduct their proposed research under a sponsor who holds a formal appointment at the host institution
  • Applicants with 5 or more years of relevant postdoctoral experience are not eligible, with the exception of M.D. applicants, who should not include years of residency in this calculation.
  • The fellowship can be performed in the United States or abroad, but must take place at a non-profit institution. There are no citizenship restrictions.
  • Only one fellow per sponsor may apply per application round
  • Only in exceptional circumstances will applicants who have already spent 3 or more years in a sponsor’s laboratory by the start date of fellowship be considered for a fellowship award.

Funding
The fellowship provides stipends of $50,000 for the first year, $53,000 for the second year, and $57,000 for the third year. In addition, an allowance of $1,500 per year is allotted to the host institution for use at the sponsor’s discretion to help pay for the fellow’s research supplies, travel to scientific meetings, and/or health insurance. Stipends and institutional allowances are not permitted to cover administrative expenses. Payments are made monthly in U.S. currency to the host institution.
