Funding South Australian Collaborations
The Defence Innovation Partnership’s Collaborative Research Fund provides up to $150,000 to support genuine collaboration across government, universities and industry, as a catalyst for defence-relevant research, development and innovation.
To date, the Collaborative Research Fund has supported 35 South Australian-based projects, providing more than $3.4 million in financial support from state government, leveraging $10.8 million from Commonwealth, industry, and university contributions.
Round 8 of the Collaborative Research Fund is now open.
Even if you have applied before, please ensure you read and are familiar with the ‘CRF Round 8 Guidelines and Assessment Criteria’ document (see ‘supporting documents’ section below) as there have been some updates since the last round.
