The UWA Research Development Awards scheme is designed to provide an opportunity for early career researchers to develop skills required for submitting grant applications and research plans. These skills would be built upon for future research projects and to build track records for external grant competitiveness.

Grants are awarded for one year only.  A maximum of $30,000 can be awarded, and up to an additional $14,500 for teaching relief.

Changes from last year:

• Adjunct, clinical and honorary appointees are no longer eligible if employed at another university
• Funds requested for travel or equipment may not exceed $20,000
• Applicants will no longer be given the opportunity to resubmit an application. Instead, feedback will be provided to all unsuccessful applicants after completion of the assessment process.

Closing date : Friday, 12 June 2009
