Research Professional has arrived
Monash University has purchased a licence for Research Professional, an exciting online, searchable database that provides information about national and international funding opportunities for researchers based in Australia, including grants, fellowships and prizes, plus a compendium of worldwide research news.
All Monash University staff can access the tool, while researchers have had accounts automatically created. Users can customise and save searches and set up email alerts.
To get started, please visit the webpage Research Professional where you can activate your account and have immediate access to online help.
See Helen Chambers at MUDRIH and Cathy Ward at Bendigo for assistance in creating your own search for funding.
