Applications open for CRC-P grants worth up to $3 million each

Nominations opened on Thursday for Round 17 of Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grants, which offer  between $100,000 and $3 million in matched funding for short-term (up to three-year) collaborative projects led by an industry partner.

An update on the industry department’s website explains that support is open to all sectors, though there is a focus on the National Reconstruction Fund priority areas and the National Science and Research Priorities. (More information at this link.) 

According to the department, grants “strengthen links between industry and research organisations, allowing the development of new technologies, products, processes and services.”

Projects must include at least two Australian industry organisations and one Australian research organisation.

They must also:

• develop a product, service or process that will solve problems for industry and deliver real outcomes
• benefit small to medium enterprises (SMEs)
• include education and training activities.

 Applications close on March 20. With more information available here.
