for Young People in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

Grant applications now open!

Applications are now open for the 2019 Science and Innovation Awards.  If you’re 18-35, this is your chance to apply for a grant of up to $22,000 (inc GST) to fund your project on an innovative or emerging scientific issue that will benefit Australia’s primary industries. Be part of making a difference in agriculture.

There are 13 industry award categories available in the 2019 round – cotton; dairy; eggs and poultry (layers); established, new and emerging rural industries; fisheries and aquaculture; forest and wood products; grains; health and biosecurity; meat and livestock; pork; red meat processing; viticulture and oenology; and wool.

Applications close on Friday 12 October 2018. The Award winners will be publicly recognised as part of the ABARES Outlook 2019 conference in Canberra in March 2019.

Since their launch in 2001, the Science and Innovation Awards have helped more than 230 young researchers, innovators and scientists turn their ideas into reality through more than $3.7 million in grant funding. Be a part of the 2019 round and apply today!

Tips and advice on applying

So you have your concept for an innovative agricultural research project? Read these tips and advice to help you plan writing your application, and make sure you check that you meet all the eligibility criteria.

Do I have to use the full $22,000 available? No, your project budget does not have to be $22,000 and you will not be disadvantaged if you do not seek the full amount. The main thing to keep in mind is “value for money”, which is one of the assessment criteria. For example, a $15,000 project that will undertake a range of activities may be considered better value for money than a $22,000 project that will undertake only one activity.

I turn 36 after the closing date of 12 October 2018 - can I still apply? Yes you can still apply as long as you are in 18-35 year age range before the closing date.

My project concept is great and could fit in more than one category - do I have to pick one? You can apply in more than one category but remember - you must submit a separate application for each one.

And here's a tip - read about the research and investment priorities of the sponsor of your Award category. Their corporate profiles are on the Science Awards website<https://abares.cmail19.com/t/j-l-nuillx-jtwddgf-y/>. Then think about how your project fits.
