MQ Research Acceleration Scheme

StatusClosed
Aim

The 2024 Macquarie University Research Acceleration Scheme [MQRAS] is designed to seed outstanding projects that have a high potential to attract external funding.

Funding

Applicants can apply for funding up to $50,000 to cover research project costs for a maximum period of 12 months.  The intention of this scheme is to enable research productivity and to accelerate opportunities that will result in increases in HERDC-reportable research income (external research income) in the short term (12-24 months).  It is expected that awardees of MQRAS funding will apply for external research funding within 12 months of completing their MQRAS project.
