Aim
External funding schemes often require a commitment of funds, known as 'co-funding', from the University in addition to the funds requested through the external funding scheme. Co-funding can include project support funds, funding for research associates, scholarships, and major equipment.
Chief Investigators should first approach their Department/School and/or Faculty when seeking co-funding. Requests for DVCR co-funding will only be considered for proposals to schemes that stipulate a requirement for institutional cash co-investment.
Macquarie (DVCR) co-funding must be submitted via the online application form 4 weeks prior to the external deadline.
For the ARC and NHMRC/MRFF there is a standardised approach to co-funding and they do not go through the online form. Further information for these schemes is located on the scheme specific webpages.
To be eligible to request DVCR Co-Funding, all grant applications must be submitted internally, via Pure, by your mandatory compliance and eligibility check booking date.
The amount of co-funding depends on the amount of external funds that will come to Macquarie. The ratio of the level of co-funding provided by the DVCR to the request from the external funding body will generally be no more than 1:4 (i.e. 20% of the total funding will be contributed by the DVCR). Where the co-funding has major strategic value the ratio may be increased to 1:3 (i.e. 25% of the total funding will be contributed by the DVCR).
Closing date: Online forms must be received 4 weeks prior to external deadline
