Research Professional
Research Professional provides an extensive database of funding opportunities that Australian researchers are eligible to apply for.
All University staff are able to search for grants, awards, fellowships, and other opportunities, as well as setup personalised searches and alerts to stay informed of new opportunities as they arise.
All users are automatically assigned to their faculty group (will be updated to College Groups in 2022), where they can share funding searches specific to their field.
