- Evaluating success
The Collective’s scheme helps entities to evaluate a new commercial opportunity. The funding aims to provide the entity with scientific evidence that prove the project is technically feasible and provides a strong indication of its commercial viability.
Additionally the entity gains expertise in managing research and development projects and establishes relationships with research organizations.
Current funding available
In 2007/08 we will be investing approximately $750,000 through the Collectives? scheme. We are investing in this scheme using an on-demand process, meaning you can apply for funding at any time.
Foundation? funding for individual projects are limited to $100,000 incl. GST.
Collectives funding normally covers most of the project costs. However, the entity is encouraged to contribute staffing and financial resources to the project.
How do I apply?
The application guidelines can be found on the timeline on the right of this page under more detail.
