Apply now for a Lowitja Institute Seeding Grant
Lowitja Institute’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Seeding Grants are now open across two streams: the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Seeding Grant and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Seeding Symposium.
Our Seeding Grants support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to grow small ideas, transform, and action research from community priorities into meaningful research projects.
Stream 1: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Seeding Symposium
This stream has been curated for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that have not led research before. Community members will have the opportunity to participate in a symposium, including a workshop to develop their ideas for research. Indigenous researcher leaders will support communities to develop a research proposal to submit to our Major Research Grants program.
Stream 2: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Seeding Grant
This stream has been curated for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that may or may not have led research before but have the resources and relationships to bring together key stakeholders to develop their own research proposal to submit to our Major Grants program. Funding of up to $35,000 is available in this stream.
Applications close on 26 September and are submitted via the Lowitja Institute SmartyGrants portal. Information for applicants including eligibility criteria, grant guidelines, and conditions of award are also accessible on this portal.
