2019 UQ Early Career Researcher (ECR) Grants Scheme – Opening of Applications
Sponsor: University of Queensland 		Closing Date: 02-Oct-2018
The scheme aims to encourage research by new members of staff; provide limited seed funding as a means of generating external research support; and support, on a competitive basis, high quality research projects of modest financial cost from early career researchers.

Definition of an ECR and Eligibility
For the purposes of the scheme, an Early Career Researcher (ECR) is someone who is, at the time of application, within their first eight years of academic or other research-related employment.

A number of other eligibility criteria apply to the scheme and are outlined in detail in the 2019 scheme Guidelines.

Information Session
To assist UQ researchers in preparing their UQ Early Career Researcher (ECR) applications, UQR&I will shortly host an Information Session. Details will be disseminated once available.

Submission of Applications
Applications are to be submitted through the UQ Online Form portal by 5pm Tuesday 2 October 2018. The 2019 UQ ECR Online Form will be available from early next week, and will be linked from the scheme web page. Applications are initially assessed by the administering School/Centre/Institute, and endorsed applications are ranked at Faculty/Institute level before being submitted to UQR&I by 5 November 2018 for compliance and eligibility checking. Further information can be found on the UQR&I website, and in the scheme Guidelines.
