ECR funding resources

The APSAD Early to Mid-Career Researcher subcommittee has compiled a list comprising of funding opportunities that support early career researchers (i.e., provide some level of salary support).

This is by no means a comprehensive list, and features of these grants can often change from year-to-year. We recommend consulting the funding rules etc. for each scheme directly by clicking the hyperlink to visit the website for the scheme. Also, many universities have their own schemes for postdocs we recommend referring to the university's website to obtain information. 

If you do identify any errors in the information listed, or identify any additional schemes to be added to this list, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. (This resource was compiled on 2018.10.31)

We are delighted to share Dr Louise Mewton’s presentation given at the EMCR networking event held at the APSAD Hobart 2019 conference. Dr Mewton shares her experiences of being an assessor on a grant review panel and breaks down how it works, to identifying and communicating the impact of your research and offers step by step guidance.
