New Opportunities in a Changing Research Environment
Government budgets are getting tighter and traditional sources of research funding are becoming more and more competitive. Researchers that recognise this challenge will embrace the opportunity presented by industry collaborations. These partnerships are a merging of the minds aided by industry funds and CRC funds coming in to accelerate your research effort.
As a research and development partner a collaboration of this type can not only help you build capability and technical know-how in your field of scientific endeavor but can also increase your global status as well as your potential and actual income.
Steps to undertaking a research project with the AMCRC
The first step is to fill out a preliminary project proposal form. If we think there is a potential fit we will invite you to engage with us to develop a more detailed proposal for possible funding.
The next step is to identify the best team to bring to the table to help achieve your commercial goals.
Then we put in place an agreement to satisfy all parties and get started. Our process is designed to minimise red tape and maximise communication and transparency. We have a quarterly reporting mechanism where funds are paid quarterly.
