Mazda Foundation Research Grants, Australia

The Foundation periodically identifies a priority area of focus. The Foundation’s current priority area of focus is Programs focused on identifying and/or remedying reading issues in children, with a particular interest in early intervention programs.

Rather than inviting applications from a broad section of the public, the Foundation will each year identify potential candidates for grants in the Foundation’s nominated priority area. Each year the independent Board of Directors of the Foundation expects to identify a select number of projects for which an agreed contribution will be made to the approved organization(s).

Although organizations should no longer apply to the Foundation for a grant, if an organization has a project which relates to the Foundation’s current priority area, it may register a request to be considered by the Foundation by lodging a Project Notification in the form attached. Such notification may be lodged electronically or by hard copy to the Foundation.

If lodging a Project Notification form, please note that:

  • the project must fall within the Foundation’s nominated priority area;
  • the organization must be an eligible recipient under the Income Tax Assessment Act;
  • the project must be consistent with the broader aims and objectives of the Foundation (published on this website); and
  • all areas of the attached form must be completed.

Marie Curie Career Integration Grants (CIG), Europe

Many researchers currently working around the world would consider getting a stable position in a European research institution. The new Career Integration Grant scheme helps them to achieve this.

Who can apply?
CIG applicants must be experienced researchers from any country in the world, with at least 4 years’ full-time research experience or a doctoral degree. You must have been actively engaged in research, but you cannot have carried out your work in the country of your host organisation for more than twelve months over the last three years. Finally, you must not have previously benefitted from a European or an International Reintegration Grant (ERG or IRG) or from a Career Integration Grant.

What does the funding cover?
The Career Integration Grant is a flat rate contribution towards your research costs. These may, for example, contribute to the salary costs of the researcher or other staff employed for the project, travel costs, consumables, patent costs and/or publication costs. The grant will cover a period of 2 to 4 years and must be used within this period. If your grant application is successful, the European Commission will establish a grant agreement with your host organisation in Europe. The host will then provide you with an employment contract (if one does not already exist), on the basis of which it is expected to pay your salary and ensure your integration for at least the duration of the grant. Your host organisation must be a university, a research centre or an enterprise in an EU Member State or Associated Country.

Which topics can be funded?
CIG proposals are welcomed from all areas of scientific and technological research, excluding research areas covered by the EURATOM Treaty.
