The Faculty Research Committee encourages Monash Small Grant Scheme applicants to apply also, to other relevant external funding bodies and will view favourably applications for which part of the funding has already been committed from external sources. The Committee will also view favourably applications to the ARC Discovery Projects scheme and any one of the other national competitive grant programs. Where applications are for collaborative projects with staff from other institutions, the Committee expects that an equal amount of funding will be committed by the other institution. In this case, both applications would be accepted. However, if both applications are successful, only the Discovery Project or a national competitive grant may be accepted.
Awards are for ONE year only.
An awarded Monash Small Grant cannot be transferred to another institution. Eligibility Applicants should be academic staff members of the Faculty of Business and Economics, Monash University, holding either full-time or fractional appointments with an expectation of employment over the duration of the grant. Staff located at the Malaysian and South African campuses are encouraged to collaborate with staff at the Australian campuses. Researchers associated with Commonwealth-funded Centres, including Special Research Centres, Key Centres of Teaching and Research, and Cooperative Research Centres, are eligible to apply. These researchers must provide evidence in the application that the proposed research is not part of the approved research plan of the Commonwealth-funded Centre.
