Overview
This scheme aims to:
- Support successful ARC Industry Fellows in establishing their research program at the University of Melbourne
- Enhance the candidate’s competitiveness when applying for the ARC Industry Fellowship schemes
Faculties may set their own objectives and priorities in determining which candidates will be nominated for Establishment Grant support. Fellows must apply to their host faculty for Establishment Grant support through whatever process the faculty deems appropriate. An Establishment Grant will only be awarded to candidates whose ARC Industry Fellowship application is successful.
Funding
An Establishment Grant comprises matching (1:1) financial contributions from Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research (DVCR) and the applicant's Department/School/Faculty.
While there is no specified minimum amount for an Establishment Grant, the standard Establishment Grant will be $50,000 (for IE) and $100,000 (for IM) split 1:1 between DVCR and the applicant's Department/School/Faculty. For IM, Establishment Grants of up to $150,000 (again split 1:1) will be considered by DVCR if supported by the Faculty.
Please note, industry-based researchers intending to work in University settings are not eligible for Establishment Grants.
DVCR does not impose any restrictions on how the central funding can be used, as long as it directly supports the Industry Fellow and their project. Faculties may enforce restrictions on the use of funding as appropriate.
How to apply

The Industry Fellowship applicant should include details of the total requested Establishment Grant support in their ARC application in the following sections:
