Internal Research Grant Schemes

ACU IRIS Grants

The purpose of ACU Industry Research Incentive Scheme (IRIS) is to provide seed funding for researchers to initiate collaborative links with Industry and Community Partners and to support high quality research projects that require a pilot or exploratory study.

ACU Research Grants

Unsuccessful applicants for ARC funding may automatically be considered for an ACU Grant. Decisions on ACU Grants will be made at a meeting of the ACU URRTMCommittee in November/December, following the results of the ARC Grants.

International Conference Travel Grants

Financial assistance is available for members of ACU staff who are invited to present at international conferences. It is intended that the funds should be used for short visits specifically to attend the international conference at which the staff member will play a significant role.
