Funding under the Grants Program will be awarded through a competitive application assessment process.
Step 1: Check eligibility
Check that the applicant/s and project are eligible for funding by reviewing these guidelines and the frequently asked questions or by emailing veterans@premiers.qld.gov.au.
Step 2: Prepare supporting documentation
Applications must be accompanied by the appropriate supporting documentation for the research project.
Prepare the following documents and submit with the application (where relevant and/or applicable):
- detailed project plan with start and end dates, timelines for key activities, responsibilities and implementation milestones, key performance indicators
- detailed budget for project costs including written quotes (where applicable)
- signed letters of support from the lead administering or applicant organisation, and other collaborating organisations/ agencies or research partners of previous research projects (on letterhead), including confirmation of any financial and in-kind contributions. (Note: all funding must be confirmed at the time of submission.)
- details of any consultation undertaken to support the application
- other key documents that are relevant to the project via the application form (e.g. evidence of ethics submission, noting approval must be provided within six months of the grant offer).
Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Applications and all required supporting documentation must be submitted via SmartyGrants by the closing date.
Step 3: Apply online
Applications must be submitted online through SmartyGrants by 5pm on 19 June 2023. Late applications will not be accepted.
Applications will only be accepted through SmartyGrants. Applications will not be accepted in person, by email, post, fax, or once applications have closed.
The application form must be completed by a person authorised to submit the application on behalf of the applicant.
Applications can be saved and completed later.
Once submitted, applicants will receive an auto-generated email from SmartyGrants confirming submission with an application identification number that can be used as a reference. Please quote this number in all correspondence relating to the application.
If you do not receive this notification, please contact the Office of Veterans on (07) 3003 9398 to confirm that the application form has been submitted correctly.
Please note: The PI is responsible for ensuring that the application is complete and accurate. Giving false or misleading information may exclude the applicant from funding consideration.
