2008 Grants Calendar

[Print-friendly version]

Updated: August 2008

The 2008 Grants Calendar outlines the internal and external closing dates for major Australian funding schemes and has been developed to assist researchers with longer-term grant application planning.

While this Calendar is updated regularly, please also check our ARC National Competitive Grants, NHMRC Research program and other external funding opportunities pages for detailed information about internal closing dates (as some schemes have earlier closing dates for Notifications of Intent to Apply, eligibility requests etc), and to obtain additional resources to assist with preparing your applications.

You can also search the COS and SPIN - research funding opportunity databases for further funding opportunities

Please Note: Where 2008 dates are to be advised, 2007 dates should be viewed as a guide only.
