Comprehensive workshops and online resources

Our training and support are available to Macquarie University researchers and external applicants who intend to apply for research funding through Macquarie University.

Macquarie has also established the Early Career Researcher (ECR) Network which aims to develop the career opportunities and open pathways for achieving world-leading research for our most promising ECRs.

Successful Grants Library

The Successful Grants Library contains external and internal grant and prize applications that were successfully awarded. Macquarie applicants are invited to view these applications electronically or in hard-copy format to assist in the framing, formatting and layout of applications.

Researcher Development Calendar – myRDC

myRDC allows researchers to easily search and register for professional development events from all sectors of the university, from one central calendar.
