Future Fellowships

The objectives of the Future Fellowships scheme are to:

• support outstanding mid-career researchers to be recruited and retained by universities in continuing academic positions
• build collaboration across industry and/or research organisations and/or disciplines
• support research in Australian Government's Science and Research Priorities that will result in economic, environmental, social and/or cultural benefits for Australia
• strengthen Australia's research capacity by supporting innovative, internationally competitive research.
• Please note, this is based on FT19 objectives. To be updated when Grant Guidelines for 2020 submissions are available from the ARC.

A Future Fellowship may be requested at one of three salary levels. An administering organisation may be awarded up to $50,000 of non-salary funding per annum. Examples of how this funding is used includes support personnel, field research, equipment, travel and other costs directly related to the Future Fellow's research.
