Title:
International Collaborative Research Grants
Description:
The International Collaborative Research Grant (ICRG) supports
international research collaborations between two or more qualified
scholars, where the principal investigators bring different and
complementary perspectives, knowledge, and/or skills to the project.
Priority will be given to those applications that make a strong case for
a balanced collaboration between the applicant and co-applicant/s in all
aspects of the research: fieldwork, analysis, and eventual publication.
By encouraging international collaborations, the grant contributes to
the development of an international anthropology that values and
incorporates different national perspectives and resources. By providing
training funds, the grant helps to build capacity in countries were
anthropology may be under-resourced.
Eligibility:
Each researcher must hold a doctorate or equivalent qualification in
anthropology or a related discipline.
Amount awarded:
The grants are for a maximum of US$30,000 for the research project.

Title:
Establishment and Equipment Grants
Description:
Applications are invited for grants available in 2011, from groups or
individuals undertaking biomedical research within universities, public
hospitals, medical research institutes or other institutes approved by
the Trustee. Applications are invited for two types of grants. They are:
a) Establishment Grants and b) Equipment Grants. Please ensure you read
the Guidelines carefully, as requirements for each grant application are
different.
Complete guidelines and the online application form can be obtained from
the website below. Research Grants, Administration and Funding (RGAF)
advises of the following procedures in relation to submitting
applications:
The Ramaciotti Foundation will only accept ONE application for each type
of grant PER Department/Discipline or affiliated Research Institute.
Establishment Grants
The Grant can be used for any combination of personnel, equipment
(excluding infrastructure), consumables or other expenses but not for
travel. The maximum total amount is $75,000. Only one Establishment
Grant application will be accepted from each Department/Discipline or
affiliated Research Institute. The applicant must not have more than
five years' post-doctoral experience (PhD, MD, MS or equivalent) as at 1
January 2011. Please check the eligibility criteria in the guidelines
carefully.
Equipment Grants
Applicants must be the Head of Department/Discipline or Director of the
affiliated Research Institute in which the equipment is to be located.
Applications may only be made for contributions of up to $75,000 towards
the purchase of a single item of equipment costing $150,000 or more. A
condition for the award of an equipment grant is that a matching grant
of the amount requested must be provided by the host institution. A
commitment from the Foundation to contribute will be subject to the full
cost being raised by the applicant, including the matching grant from
the host institution. Applications for funding outside of these
parameters will be deemed ineligible. Preference will be given to
applications for an item of equipment that will be used on various
projects by two or more research groups. Only one Equipment Grant
application will be accepted from each Department/Discipline or
affiliated Research Institute.
Important Notes on Submission of Applications:
1. To ensure that only one Establishment Grant and one Equipment
Grant application is submitted from each Department/Discipline or
affiliated Research Institute, please discuss with your
Department/Discipline Head or Director by 1 May 2011. If the Research
Grants Office receives more than one application for each type of grant
from a Department/Discipline or affiliated Research Institute, RGAF will
ask the Department/Discipline Head or Director of the affiliated
Research Institute to select the application to go forward. Applicants
for Equipment Grants must provide written confirmation from the Head of
School that a matching grant of the amount requested will be provided by
the host institution.
2. Researchers are to complete the application on the website, save
as directed by the instructions (noting your Personal Security Number),
download a copy and send it to RGAF for checking by 17 May 2011. Note:
Do not submit electronically at this stage. A completed Research
Proposal Clearance Form must also be forwarded to RGAF.
3. Having checked the application, the RGAF will notify the
researcher of any amendments necessary (if any); and will advise on how
to submit the final version of application.
4. Applicants are not required to nominate a referee. However, the
Trustee reserves the right to request a report from a referee if
recommended by the Scientific Advisory Committee. Any reports would be
provided in strictest confidence to the Committee.
5. Researchers applying for establishment grants are advised to pay
particular attention to Question E.8 "Ethical and hazardous implications
of the project", noting the conditions determining whether or not you
need to indicate "Yes".
