The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Sciences Strategic Grant Scheme (SGS), consisting of about $1 million per year, is seeking expressions of interest from researchers.

Under the SGS the faculty aims to strengthen the capability and international competitiveness of its researchers by supporting high quality, multi-disciplinary, collaborative proposals. Other objectives include the identification and development of young research leaders, and collaboration with Monash University Malaysia.

The SGS grant application process is tailored to enhance strategic gains to the faculty research portfolio. The process consists of two stages:

1. expressions of interest (EOI)
2. full applications (invited only, selected from EOI)

Researchers interested in applying for a Strategic Grant for funding commencing in 2014 (SGS 2014), are required to submit an expression of interest (EOI) as the first stage of the process. At the second stage of the process, full applications will be requested from applicants whose projects best demonstrate a combination of scientific quality and the potential for strategic gain for the faculty.

EOI will be reviewed by a panel, and around 50 per cent (usually 60-70 applications) will be short-listed and invited to the full application round.

EOI application closing date: Friday 12 July 2013
