Title: Attracting Category 1 grant funding in Australia: goal posts and lessons learned

Seminar Overview -

With grant funding rates at an all-time low in Australia, developing effective strategies for writing Category 1 funding applications has never been more important. From fellowships to project-based funding, there are certain general principles that help win over evaluation panels. This seminar will provide an overview of the current Category 1 funding landscape, focussing on the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Medical Research Future Fund. Drawing on his experience as a successful applicant and an evaluation panel member, Dr Young will highlight several strategic ways to improve the impact of fellowship and project-based grant applications in these funding schemes. Examples from prior grant submissions will be provided and discussed.
