Locating Funding Opportunities:

Three ways to identify possible sources of funding at La Trobe University are:

 

  1. La Trobe University currently subscribes to the COS Funding and Expertise Service. This service offers a searchable database of local, national and international funding opportunities. You may search the site from any computer at La Trobe University (http://www.cos.com). If you wish to register an expertise profile on the service you will also be allocated a COS Workbench which will allow you to search the site from home (using a login name and password) and will provide you with a weekly funding alert service. The Funding Alert service notifies you of grant opportunities relevant to your research interests for which you are eligible to apply. If you require assistance using the service or joining, please contact Louise Francis (x2043). Tutorials are also available on the La Trobe COS page.
  2. We maintain an e-mail list to advertise funding opportunities to staff as we become aware of them. We also arrange to have fliers posted on School notice boards. If you would like to be put on this list please a member of the Research Grants team giving your name, School and main research interests.
  3. There are several pages dedicated to specific funding bodies on the Research Grants web pages. These include the La Trobe Schemes page, ARC Schemes page, the NHMRC Schemes page, the US Government Schemes page, and the Recently Advertised Schemes page, which is used to provide links to the web site of any schemes recently advertised by e-mail.
