Institutional Programs

Overseeing large-scale funding applications

Institutional Programs assists with and oversees institutional applications, including large-scale research funding programs. Applications for these programs usually require:

Researchers undertaking applications will be required to adhere to an application process and timeline. The process and timeline will be developed in consultation with others including Institutional Programs and the lead researcher, at the beginning of the application process.
