La Trobe Research Grants Scheme

The La Trobe University Research Grants Scheme (LTURGS) supports high quality research projects in all disciplines at the University, but with a strong focus on those in areas of research strength.

NOTE: This scheme will not be offered in 2009.

The objectives of the LTURGS are to:

  • support, on a competitive basis, staff newly appointed to the University (ie. who commenced since 1 January 2005), and Early Career Researchers who are not named as a Chief Investigator on an externally funded award and show clear evidence of high research capacity; and
  • provide support for pilot research projects of modest cost conducted by researchers who are not named as a Chief Investigator on an externally funded award; and
  • encourage the development of grant application skills.
