Intellectual climate fund for graduate researchers

Fund information and application guidelines

Sponsored by the Graduate Research School , the Intellectual Climate Fund (ICF) grants of up to $500 are available to graduate research groups to support your local research community.

Purpose of the scheme

The purpose of this scheme is to encourage graduate researchers to lead a range of academic, social and cultural activities – online or in person - that will seed or enhance a stimulating intellectual climate and supportive network within their local graduate research community. The scheme is not prescriptive about whether the activities take place across schools, departments, physical locations or disciplines; it is about developing your research community. Graduate researchers may organise academic activities such as conferences and symposia, visual exhibitions, seminars, masterclasses and visiting speakers. This scheme encourages applications that enhance inclusiveness for the graduate researcher community (e.g. from smaller campuses, focused on part-time or international graduate researchers).

These information session notes [PDF 263KB] provide insight into what the ICF would like to see. This scheme is not intended for recurring events

You can read about other ICF projects on the RED Alert blog.

Benefits

In applying to this scheme, graduate researchers can gain additional valuable experience in event organisation, grant application writing, project management, communication, and leadership. Successful awardees will have a full briefing about the resources and advice available to them. Other mentorship and support for successful applicants will be available from the RED team in the GRS on request.

Important dates

  • Scheme opens: Tuesday, 13 March 2024
  • Scheme closes: Monday, 8 April 2024, 12:00 PM (AEST)
  • Successful applicants notified: by Tuesday, 30 April 2024

Application information

Applicants must be currently enrolled graduate researchers at La Trobe. Events must be produced primarily BY and FOR graduate researchers, and they must be held in the year the funding is awarded. Proposals that seek to secure additional financial support for the activity from departments, schools or external bodies will be well regarded.

Applications will be assessed on:

  • The strength of the proposal
  • Anticipated impact on intellectual climate
  • Whether it enhances inclusion
  • Whether additional funding was sought

Download application form [DOC 113KB]

Please email the RED Team with any ICF enquires and to submit your application: red.grs@latrobe.edu.au

Conditions

  • Grants are available for projects run BY and FOR graduate researchers.
  • Applicants must be currently enrolled.
  • All projects must take place before the end of 2023.
  • Project funding cannot be spent on salaries. Honoraria may be acceptable.
  • A written report must be sent to red.grs@latrobe.edu.au at the conclusion of the activity. A report pro forma can be found here [Word Document 75KB].
  • Awardees from previous ICF rounds who did not lodge an activity report are ineligible to apply.

If we don't use the funding before the end of the year, can we roll the funds over to the next year?

No, as stated in the scheme guidelines, the funding MUST BE SPENT BY 31 Dec OF THAT YEAR.

Can initiatives involve academic staff and graduate researchers or Hons students?

We strongly encourage cross-cohort initiatives that are inclusive of researchers at all stages of their career, but the focus for the Intellectual Climate Fund is on the graduate researcher context. For example, if the event is for a whole School, you would need to explain how it benefits graduate researchers in particular.

I have heaps of ideas - can I submit more than one application in the round?

No. You can only be an applicant on one application in each round.

If the initiative changes from what's proposed in the successful application, what do we do?

If your initiative changes, you will need to confirm that it still aligns with the scheme's guidelines by submitting a modified project plan to red.grs@latrobe.edu.au. Please note that if the amended plan is not acceptable for the scheme, the funding will have to be returned to the Graduate Research School.

What if we can't carry out the initiative after all?

If the initiative will not be happening, the RED team must be notified and the funding returned to the Graduate Research School.

I was successful in applying for a grant in a previous year, am I able to apply again this year?

If you submitted a report from your previous event and there were no issues with unspent funding then, yes, you may apply in the current year's scheme.

I received funding in a previous year but wasn't able to carry out the initiative after all, am I able to re-apply this year?

You may re apply if the circumstances that prevented you from carrying out the initiative in a previous year were beyond your control, the funding was returned, and you notified the RED team.

If the initiative was not carried out and you did not contact the RED team, then it would be unlikely that you would be successful in an application for more funding.

For examples of initiatives funded in previous years, please see below
