Call for 2nd round of travel grants 2007
Earlier this year, the Graham Centre provided over $18,000 to Centre participants to assist with the cost of attending conferences and developing collaborative research projects at national and international levels. The Centre is pleased to announce a second round of funding for Travel Grants for 2007.
The aim of the Graham Centre's Travel Grants scheme is to develop national and international links and to elevate the profile of the Centre. Whilst considerably less funding is available for this second round of grants, Centre participants are encouraged to apply for assistance where there is a significant link between the research priorities of the Centre and the proposed conference/activities.
The Centre's Local Management Committee oversees the allocation of travel grants to ensure that resources are spread equitably across Programs and Research Themes throughout the year.
Applications are required to meet strict criteria which includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Proposed travel must be aligned to Graham Centre objectives;
- Applicants must demonstrate clearly defined objectives and expected outcomes;
- Successful applicants are required to submit a detailed report to the Centre Director within 1 month following travel;
- Matching funds provided from another funding source will strengthen application;
- Applications must be submitted in the prescribed format and must include additional supporting documentation (Download Application Form here).
- Applications for the second round of funding for 2007 will close on 15 August 2007.

- Director Deirdre Lemerle (tel 6938 1667) or
