Graduate Research Support Scheme

The School of Philosophy has agreed to set aside funds annually to support graduate student participation in a research activity that is not normally supported from other sources.
It may support, for example:

• travel expenses associated with fieldwork/library or archival research;
• travel to conference to present a paper;
• special research training courses;
• acquisition of documents or data sets not otherwise available;
• the production of research instruments e.g. printing questionnaires;
• inter-library loans;
• art materials for special projects;
• travel to exhibition or performance of works.
• travel for other purposes (eg. to conduct interviews) will be considered.

It will not defray the costs that all graduate students commonly experience e.g. living costs, fees, or costs associated with thesis production.

Funds will be made available on an individual competitive basis to support graduate student participation in a research activity that is not normally supported from other sources.
Research higher degree students are invited to make written competitive bids for the funds on the application form provided. Reimbursement of expenditure must be sought prior to 15 November annually. Late applications will not be considered.

A grant may be awarded to cover only part of the cost of an activity, up to a maximum grant of $2000.
Funding for travel to attend a conference is restricted to those actively participating (eg. by giving a paper).
Funding will not normally be granted for the purchase of books or items of equipment.
Only registered research higher degree students are eligible to apply.
No student may receive more than one grant annually, and no part-time student may receive more that one grant biennially.
