Application process
The NHMRC's Research Grants Management System (RGMS) must be used to submit an application.
Grant application cover sheet must accompany every grant application
The RGMS includes an online Profile and CV function. This function is used when applying for all types of grants on the RGMS system. Relevant information from the Profile and CV will be uploaded automatically into application forms.
Intending applicants are strongly advised to access the RGMS as soon as possible to become familiar with the system, to enter their CVs and upload publication lists. This preparation will make the final application process less demanding, and provide a longer 'application' time during which the NHMRC can provide support, instruction and advice on how to use the RGMS.
