Auckland Medical Research Foundation - Project Grant Program Requirements
- The PI must have tenure, or an employment contract for the term of the grant requested. If the PI's current contract does not cover the term of the grant, they should submit a letter of support from the host institution stating that if successful, they will be offered a contract for the duration of the new grant.
- An individual can be named on up to two applications within any one grant round, either as a PI on one application and a co-applicant on another, or as a co-applicant on up to two applications.
- It is an expectation of the AMRF that an individual may only be a PI on one active Project grant at a time. The individual may also be a co-applicant on one or more active grants at the same time.
- The AMRF only accepts one resubmission of a previously unsuccessful project grant application. It is an expectation that the applicant addresses all concerns raised by the referees and medical committee in their re-submission. An applicant who has been unsuccessful twice can submit further proposals in their chosen field of research, but it will need to be based on a new or substantially revised hypothesis.
- The start date of the project must be after the decision date of that round. Please check the grant rounds dates (including the decision date) on the How to Apply page on our website.
- The AMRF views applications that request direct top up funding of larger awarded grants from other funding agencies as a low priority unless the applicant can demonstrate that the AMRF proposal is using data obtained in the larger study to undertake further research. This new body of research in the AMRF application needs to stand alone and be readily identifiable as a project funded by the AMRF. The AMRF will consider joint funding on new applications.
- The AMRF reserves the right to not consider your application if you do not comply with all the guidelines.
