THE RESEARCH SUPPORT OFFICE

Office of Research Support @ Murdoch

Research Support (formerly the Grants Office) performs a number of functions to facilitate the administration of grants and research outputs. It is responsible for the submission of all research grant applications to the relevant funding body, the provision of advice to researchers on the availability of funding opportunities, advice and assistance with the preparation of grant submissions, and the administration of successful grants. The Office of Research Support is located on the ground floor of the Chancellery in room 1.015.

Funding Opportunities

There are many, diverse sources of funding available for research. Some are government agencies, charitable organisations, private companies, and multinational conglomerates. With so many different sources of funding, we have provided a way of finding these opportunites through access to the various funding databases and the major funding schemes available. For more information and access to the databases, click here.

Grant Application & Maintenance

The application for, and administration of the substantial sums of money that flow into Murdoch University for the purposes of conducting research require considerable work. The recent introduction of IRMA (Integrated Research Management Application) will streamline this process for both the researcher and the Support team. For your benefit, a step by step guide to submitting grant applications using IRMA is provided here. This site also provides information on submitting annual reports and other requirements once a grant is successful
