BE CRC is calling for Scoping Study Projects and General Projects across its five integrated user-defined research programs.
The submission deadlines for Scoping Study Projects and General Projects are outlined herein.
There is a two-stage process for both that includes (i) an Expression of Interest and for EoI that are supported, (ii) a Project Application stage.
FEATURES COMMON TO ALL PROJECTS
Both Scoping Study Projects and General Projects must demonstrate how they assist the Blue Economy CRC meet the program objectives set out in the Commonwealth Milestones listed in the CRC’s Grant Agreement.
All BE CRC projects involve collaborations between industry and research providers and/or government. They are driven by the needs of our industry participants and the end-users that they engage with. Most projects will have two or more research participants and one or more industry participants. Applicants are strongly encouraged to visit the “Connect” Blue Economy on-line collaboration space to discuss how complementary concepts can be combined into compelling proposals.
For each project there will be a Project Leader who will be accountable for registering the details of projects onto the Blue Economy CRC on-line collaboration space. Details of this will be provided separately, Project leaders will be responsible for the delivery of milestones as defined in the Project Agreement. All projects will be subject to a Project Agreement which will include a project plan outlining specific roles and responsibilities of each participant.
