Queensland Science Collaboration Gateway

About the Queensland Science Collaboration Gateway

The Queensland Science Collaboration Gateway (the gateway) facilitates the presentation of major research proposals to senior government decision makers comprising the Interdepartmental Science Committee (the committee). Members of the Committee include Deputy Directors-General from across Queensland Government who have an interest in progressing Queensland’s scientific capacity, standing and merit. The committee is chaired by the Queensland Chief Scientist.

Funding programs and schemes covered

The scope of the Queensland Science Collaboration Gateway includes:

• Cooperative Research Centre (Grants scheme only, not Projects scheme)
• Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence
• National Health and Medical Research Council Synergy Grants
• National Health and Medical Research Council Medical Research Future Fund (for grant opportunities that involve an open call for applications)
• Australia’s Economic Accelerator Innovate Grants
• The National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy program (pending release of the program’s guidelines).

This list will continue to be updated as schemes are announced, and their guidelines are released.

Next round

The Queensland Chief Scientist intends to run two rounds of the Queensland Science Collaboration Gateway each year. The next round will be held in late 2024. Proposals under development for schemes that are already open or due to open within 12 months will be eligible.
