The 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, Other External Funding Opportunities and International Funding and Collaboration 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.
