SUMMARY:NHMRC Synergy Grants
DESCRIPTION:Synergy Grants support outstanding multidisciplinary teams of investigators to work together to answer major questions that cannot be answered by a single investigator. \nThe intended outcomes of the Synergy Grant scheme are: \n\nmultidisciplinary research that addresses major problems in all areas of human health and medical research\, from discovery to translation\nhighly collaborative teams of diverse researchers including by gender\, career stage and cultural background\, working together to address major problems in human health.\n\nSynergy Grants may be funded by\, or in conjunction with\, other organisations. These grants offer opportunities to researchers whose work is relevant to the priorities and research interests of the partner organisations. \nKey Dates \nMinimum data: 4 March 2026 17:00 AEST \nApplications close: 1 April 2026 17:00 AEST \nOutcomes: October 2026 \nSEE WEBSITE

SUMMARY:ARC Linkage Infrastructure\, Equipment and Facilities
DESCRIPTION:The Linkage Infrastructure\, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) scheme provides funding to eligible organisations for research infrastructure\, equipment and facilities. \nUnder this scheme researchers participate in cooperative initiatives so that expensive research infrastructure\, equipment and facilities can be shared between higher education organisations and industry. \nThe scheme fosters collaboration through its support of the cooperative use of international or national research facilities. \nApplicants may seek funding for: \n\ninfrastructure\, equipment and facility purchases\, construction and installation\nsalaries directly associated with creating and installing infrastructure\, equipment or facilities\nleasing of infrastructure\, equipment or facilities\nconsortium membership costs\, in the case of Australia’s participation in the use of significant international-scale or national research facilities\nspecialised computing facilities and software\ncompilations\, catalogues\, clearing houses or bibliographies.\n\nThis scheme is intended to support researchers from higher education organisations and industry to gain access to the infrastructure\, equipment and facilities that they need to carry out their research. The scheme provides funding to eligible organisations to purchase\, construct or access expensive research infrastructure. \nKey Dates \nApplications close: 9 April 2026 \nAnnouncement: 22 December 2026 – 16 March 2027 \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINES PDFSEE WEBSITE

SUMMARY:Australian Melanoma Research Foundation Research Grants
DESCRIPTION:The AMRF will continue to support the next generation of melanoma researchers in Australia by providing research grants to post-graduate students and early career researchers. \nThe AMRF will fund research that contributes to the understanding and prevention of melanoma. The number of grants awarded in 2026 will depend on the quality of the applications and the funds requested. The AMRF will be selective in the research it supports. Any proposal to the Foundation for research funding will need to be contestable and show evidence of scientific merit within the national context. \nThe aim of the AMRF’s grants scheme is to support high quality research that is not fully funded through other grant schemes or from other sources.  AMRF funds are to be applied to offset the direct costs of the research. The proposed research may be part of an existing  research program.  However\, the application to the AMRF should be for a stand-alone component of that existing project. \nApplications for funding will be assessed against several of the following criteria: \n\nPublication history in melanoma (by the applicant and/or their supervisor)\nEvidence of scientific merit and clinical need within the national context\nProposed dissemination of research findings\nBroader impact on education and awareness of melanoma\n\nKey Dates\nEOIs close: 30 April 2026\nFull applications deadline: 25 May 2026\nSuccessful applicants announced: 15 June 2026\nFunds available: by 30 June 2026 \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINESSEE WEBSITE
