Project Grants

The Project Grant application external assessments are being lodged in RGMS and the NHMRC will shortly be inviting Chief Investigators to read the assessments and submit their rebuttals.  It is advisable that CIA’s actively monitor their email accounts from Monday 28 June until the applicant response is received.  Most applicants will receive their assessments within the period 28 June – 30 July. CIA’s may wish to check that they can recall their RGMS password prior to being notified about their applicant response.

For instructions on how to complete the rebuttals process, please dowload the instructions for Project Grants Applicant Responses.

The NHMRC’s Research Grants Management System (RGMS) must be used to access/enter your CV and Profile, or submit a Project Grant Application.

Prior to the end of 2009, all current NHMRC grant holders should have received information by email on how to log into RGMS. If you are not a current NHMRC grant holder and wish to access RGMS, please visit the RGMS website for more information.
