International Grants Accelerator Program

Overview

The International Grants Accelerator Program (IGAP) is designed to support both academic and professional staff who are actively seeking to grow capability and impact of research through international collaborations and funding.

Applications are accepted from researchers at all career stages. Early career researcher applicants are encouraged, especially noting that some international funders have a focus on early career development.

Participants will have access to:

• Support in identifying and applying to international research funding opportunities
• Up to $5,000 AUD travel funding to support grant proposal development (conditions apply)
• Exclusive workshops to support international grant proposal development

Funding

The program will allow applicants to apply for travel funding in order to visit international collaborators and funding agencies, or to support the visit of international partners to Melbourne. Applicants are invited to apply for up to AUD $5,000, with funding available from Chancellery Research and Enterprise in a 1:1 match with Academic Divisions.

Note that participants wishing to be considered for travel support need to attach evidence of endorsement by Head of Department (or equivalent) as part of their application.
