Conduct your research with government funding

We provide support to researchers who apply for funding through Macquarie. Explore the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grant opportunities at Macquarie.

Find information on specific rules, contacts, key dates, application deadlines and resources, to help you with the funding process.

NHMRC grant applicants will now be required to submit a formal DVCR co-funding request. This is to support our researchers to successfully complete their proposed NHMRC projects by providing up to 20 per cent co-funding on funds, to remain at Macquarie.

The goal is for the DVCR co-funding is to facilitate Maquarie University applicants in providing a ‘top-up’ of NHMRC salary costs (PSPs), which are lower than our equivalent salary rates.

The objective of the Ideas Grant scheme is to support innovative research projects addressing a specific question(s). The scheme provides particular opportunities for early- and mid-career researchers.

A Targeted Call for Research (TCR) is a one-time request for grant applications to address a specific health issue where there is a significant research knowledge gap or unmet need.

A TCR specifies the scope and objectives of the research to be proposed, application requirements and procedures, and the review criteria to be applied in the evaluation of applications submitted in response to the TCR.
