Not Deakin-Led Process

Ensure you complete details on External Lead Organisation and CI, total budget, funding coming to Deakin, and any in-kind/cash the University will be providing to assist with approval assessment.
- Submit a NOIS Form by the NOIS deadline for the scheme, or as soon as possible
- Complete the Grant Application Coversheet and submit by the internal deadline (10 working days prior to scheme closing)
- It is expected for higher FTE contributions that some funds will come to Deakin University (5-10% of total budget request)
