Eligibility A minimum of three and maximum of 10 Chief Investigators are allowed on a Program Grant. Each full time CI is required to devote 80-100% of their NHMRC research time to the Program. All CIs must be based in Australia for the duration of funding.

It is expected that CIs on a Program Grant application will:

  • hold a PhD or relevant professional qualification (eg, MBBS, MPH)
  • be at either academic salary Level C or above, or an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow or above
  • have a strong record of achievement in competitive peer-reviewed research or industry-supported research
  • have Australian or New Zealand citizenship or Australian permanent resident status at the time of application.

Program Grant and Project Grant eligibility

  • A CI on an existing Program Grant is not permitted to hold, or apply for more than one Project Grant.
  • A CI on a Program Grant cannot apply for a Project Grant jointly with any other Program Grant holder; i.e. at least one CI on a Project Grant application must not be a CI on a Program Grant receiving funding in the year in which the Project Grant is funded.
Application process Applicants should read the application documentation below prior to commencing their Program Grant application.
  1. Log in to RGMS. All CIs should update all sections of their Profile and CV. New users to RGMS should submit a 'New User Request'.
  2. Commence a new application. Choose 'Program' from the 'Initiative' drop-down menu.
  3. A complete Program Grant application must consist of the following:
    • Relevant information from RGMS Profile and CV
    • Completion of Parts A and B of the application
    • Background and Research Plan PDF (including Track Records for each Chief Investigator)
    • Letter of Support from each Funding Partner (if applicable)
  4. When the application is ready for Research Office administrative review and feedback, upload all PDF documents and generate new snapshot reports. Notify the Research Office via email, quoting the application ID number.
  5. Obtain all signatures on the CI consent form and return it to the Research Office by 4 June 2012.
Do not certify until you have received feedback and are advised to do so by the Research Office.
