Open Schemes

All currently open MRFF opportunities (including those not managed by the NHMRC) can be found on our MRFF page.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to commence their application in Sapphire ASAP after the scheme opens so that they can:

• book their preferred day for an Eligibility and Compliance Check through the online booking system.
• receive a copy of the scheme Essential Instructions developed by Research Grants to assist you in the completion of your application.

The internal deadline requires the provision of a submission-ready proposal to Research Grants submitted via Sapphire.

Sapphire

The NHMRC schemes uses Sapphire for all grant rounds.

For more information on how to activate your Sapphire account, please visit the NHMRC website or contact research-applications@newcastle.edu.au

CI Eligibility Limits and Sapphire

Unlike RGMS, Sapphire does not contain the functionality to perform validation checks to identify potential eligibility issues.

Research Grants strongly recommends that CIAs ensure all CIs carefully check to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for the specific scheme – noting that for some schemes eligibility is limited to one application as CI.

The NHMRC will rule all applications ineligible in instances where any CI (CIA-CIJ) is in excess of the maximum number of grants they are eligible to apply for or hold.

Please contact Research Grants if you are unsure of your eligibility so we can assist.
