How to apply for an AIATSIS Research Grant

Applications for the 2011 grant round will open in November 2010 and close on Monday 10 January 2011.

Individuals and/or organisations may apply for research grants.  However, all applicants are normally required to have an Australian based administering organisation; this could be a university, statutory body or an incorporated organisation.

Applications must be made on the Research Grant Application form. Applications are received by email (no need to send additional copy in the post), hand delivery or post. Applications should arrive on single sided, white A4 paper without staples.

To assist in developing your project budget, a budget calculator spreadsheet (exl 39Kb ) is available.

The Information for AIATSIS Research Grant Applicants (pdf202 Kb) document contains the most important information you will need to complete an application for a grant.  It explains the sort of information we will be looking for in your application and how it will be assessed.

Each application will need two referee reports, using the Referee Report Form 2010. Information for Referees provides additional advice for referees.

Most grants will require ethical clearance from individuals or community groups.  A draft Informed Consent form should be sent with your application. The Plain English Template may help you with this.

Successful applicants will need to comply with the Guidelines for Ethical Research in Indigenous Studies.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring that the application form, references and other supporting documents are delivered to AIATSIS by the closing date. Documents received after that date will not be circulated to the assessors.
