This scheme is OPEN for 2025. Applications can be submitted at any time of the year. |
Continuous Application Process
This scheme allows applicants to apply at any time during the year to allow researchers and partner organisations to develop timely collaborations. Applications will proceed to peer review depending on when they are submitted to NHMRC.
Applications that have met minimum data requirements but are not submitted by the application due date will remain active. The applicant may continue to work on the application and submit to the next available peer review cycle.
The grant commencement date will be aligned with the timing of each of two Peer Review Cycles.
For further information please refer to the Partnership Projects section of the NHMRC website.
