ILWS Research Support
The Institute offers research support funds for activities that further the ILWS mission to undertake internationally recognised integrated environmental, social and economic research for rural and regional areas. Members will be notified by email when calls for applications for specific grants are open.
Funds cannot be used to directly enable research activities, but are to support currently funded research activities and develop new funding streams as described in one of three categories given below.
Category A: Member research support time - to support the appointment of sessional academic staff to provide a greater research fraction to ILWS members on CSU teaching-research appointments.
Category B: Team research support and development - to support current externally funded ILWS research and to develop new funding opportunities. It includes the acquisition of research equipment.
Category C: Professional Development, conference attendance and training - to support individual members in their professional development as researchers.

Funds allocated in the 2021 rounds need to be spent and acquitted before 30 October 2021 (although activities can be conducted after this date), in line with our normal financial arrangements.
