NAMAWARDS 2025
The 2025 NAMAWARDS call is now live. The deadline for applications is 28th February 2025.
Monash University, Melbourne (Aus) – Newcastle University (UK) Collaborative Grants Scheme, NAMAWARDS, is an initiative to provide seed corn funding for small projects to support international research collaboration between the two institutions. This initiative leverages the 2021 Memorandum of Understanding between our two universities, aiming to strengthen collaboration in areas where our expertise and interests align.
The grants are intended to fund collaborative projects with the potential for scaling up to secure greater funding through the various research funding bodies in the UK, Europe and Australia, as well as to produce high quality joint publications.
The maximum award is £10,000 (approximately $20,000) with up to three awards available. Consideration of the breadth of the portfolio of awards will partly impact on decision making. Due to current restrictions around travel, Newcastle will prioritise applications that do not involve travel costs.
All team members must commit to attending a joint workshop taking place at NuMed, Iskandar Puteri, Malaysia from 3-5th June 2025. Funding for workshop attendance will be provided in full by Monash and Newcastle University Business Schools and is separate to the funding for the awards.
Please contact nubs.research@ncl.ac.uk at least 86 hours prior to the deadline to discuss your costs.
