The objective of the NHMRC’s Investigator Grant scheme is to support the research program of outstanding investigators at all career stages. It consolidates salary and research support into a single grant scheme by offering a salary component (if required) and a research support package.

The intended outcomes of the Investigator Grant scheme are:

  • flexibility for investigators to pursue important new research directions as they arise and to form collaborations as needed;
  • innovative and creative research;
  • opportunities for researchers at all career stages to establish their own research program;
  • reduced application and peer review burden on researchers.
