How to apply
Step 1: SmartyGrants registration and scheme reading
- The person submitting the Application - preferably the project leader - will need an active account in Department of Innovation, Tourism Industry Development and the Commonwealth Games (DITID) SmartyGrants system.
- Familiarise yourself with the key Advance Queensland (AQ) and UQ documentation.
Step 2: Completing the application
- Log into SmartyGrants and complete the Application, but leave the final Declaration/Certification pages blank (to prevent the draft from being submitted to DITID without UQ authorisation).
Step 3: UQR&I internal review and feedback
- In advance of internal review, ensure all online components are complete and valid. Generate a whole Proposal PDF for your records.
- To initiate internal review, email your completed Funding Coversheet, whole Proposal PDF, draft attachments and Cash Commitment Proforma to UQR&I at fellowshipgrants@research.uq.edu.au.
- Internal review by UQR&I/feedback provided (compliance/eligibility/grantsmanship).
Step 4: Final submission
- On receiving authorisation from UQR&I, submit your Application online in SmartyGrants.
