Two awards are made available every year by Sugar Research Australia (SRA) to support innovative early-career researchers (ECR) and mid-career researchers (MCR) who may require initial results or a proof of concept prior to developing a larger project, and who want to expand their skills, and/or build highly valuable collaborations in pursuit of an innovative initiative.
Funding & Duration
SRA will usually grant two ECR/MCR awards per year at a typical level of $10,000 to $15,000 per award.
The award can be used for the following purposes:
- Seed funding for a proof of concept activity;
- Acquisition of new skills;
- Development of local and international collaborations; or
- Study opportunities through laboratory visits and work in overseas/national laboratories.
The award cannot be used for expenditure on capital items, salaries, conference attendance, workshops or organisational overheads.
