Research Support Schemes

Collaborative Research Grants Scheme (CRGS)

The Collaborative Research Grants Scheme (CRGS) allows SCU researchers to initiate research partnerships with outside organisations at any time of the year and avoid the long lead-time sometimes associated with the two ARC Schemes. The Scheme is contingent on there also being an application for external grant in progress.

The scheme provides attractive "leveraging" opportunities for research partnerships. The University will match, dollar for dollar, the cash contribution of the external partner up to a maximum of $15,000 in any one year.

In the cases of medical, health, or the creation or performance of a work of art, the Partner MUST agree to submit an ARC-Linkage Grant in the next available round, or have submitted such an application in the most recent round.
