Please apply to the holding department or institute. View the list of equipment and contact the responsible person listed in the spreadsheet.

Research grant mentoring

The faculty has a research grant mentoring scheme which works through a panel of mentors who offer faculty-wide mentoring for grant proposals to major funding sources. This mentoring works to complement the strategies of schools and departments and the Melbourne Research Office for research proposal submission.

The faculty scheme provides peer group advice so that faculty researchers can develop proposals which are successful in attracting funding and which underpin their research career strategy.

Mentors are drawn from faculty NHMRC, ARC and VicHealth fellows or faculty members with an identified particular expertise. The mentoring scheme is coordinated through the Faculty Research Unit.

Please contact the faculty grant mentoring coordinator, Dr Marjorie Dunlop, +61 3 8344 7765 or medunlop@unimelb.edu.au.
