EMCRA Seed Funding Award
Applications for the 2023 EMCRA Seed Funding Award
NOW OPEN
Note: This award replaces the EMCRA Collaborative Award run in previous years.
Purpose
The EMCRA Seed Funding Award scheme is designed to support innovative new research led by Early-Mid Career Researchers and Academics (EMCRA) Association in the School of Biomedical Sciences (SBS). The SBS recognises the value and importance of supporting the career development of EMCRs towards establishing a track record of project management and autonomous innovative research that will underpin future bids for external competitive research funding.
This award facilitates emerging research led by EMCRAs across the SBS. Applicable research projects may include basic research, translational work, teaching-focused projects, or other research projects within the scope of EMCRAs working across SBS. While collaborative research projects are encouraged, individual research projects are also eligible. Collaborative projects can be with researchers in or beyond the University of Melbourne; however, funds must be expended through the University’s Purchase and Acquisition services.
To facilitate the development of EMCRAs research, the SBS will make available 3 grants, to the value of $40,000 each, to the leading applicant from each of the School’s three Departments: Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology, and Microbiology and Immunology.
Duration
All funds must be exhausted by the end of 2024.
