Applicants may nominate more than one partnership organisation, and this is encouraged if the proposed research will be of interest to more than one partner organisation. Funding partners welcome opportunities to collaborate in supporting mutually beneficial research.

After all Career Fellowship applications have been assessed and evaluated by NHMRC Peer Review Panels, those which nominated co-funding partners are forwarded to the nominated partner organisations for their own evaluation and review. Partner organisations advise on those applications they wish to co-fund, with NHMRC deciding which applications proceed to funding based on the NHMRC Peer Review outcome and ranking for all applications.

All applications must be submitted electronically using NHMRC’s Research Grant Management System (RGMS). RGMS also provides an online Profile and CV function.This function is used when applying for all types of grants in RGMS. Relevant information from the Profile and CV will be uploaded automatically for the assessment process.
