*Eligibility and conditions for Establishment Grant Support
All prospective MDHS DECRA and Future Fellowship applicants are eligible to request Establishment Grant support. This funding is contingent on the successful DECRA or Future Fellows recipient holding a salaried appointment in a budget Department of the Faculty at the equivalent time commitment as the fellowship (i.e. fellows receiving a full-time fellowship from the ARC must hold a full time appointment at the University of Melbourne). Please note, staff who are currently employed through a Medical Research Institute or MRI based Department, or wish to hold the DECRA or Future Fellowship in a MRI based Department, must contact MDHS Research Support & Evaluation to determine eligibility and cash co-contribution requirements for this scheme prior to application.
Assessment of Establishment Grant Requests
Research, Innovation and Commercialisation (RIC) will advise Academic Divisions on the likely level of funding available for each applicant by making an assessment of:
- The budget for the DECRA/FT Establishment Grant Program;
- The number of applications being submitted to the ARC; and
- The anticipated overall DECRA/FT success rate.
