We are pleased to once again be able to offer opportunities to support research work on student equity and success with our Grants and Fellowship programs. This week, we opened applications for ACSES’s:
- 2025 First Nations Fellowship Program;
- 2025 Equity Fellowship Program; and
- 2025-26 Large Grants Research Program.
The 2025 rounds of our First Nations and Equity Fellowship programs will provide fully-funded annual fellowships for researchers and practitioners in higher education, to complete a project that will inform an area of Australian higher education practice and policy in relation to domestic students, via a combination of research, translation, best practice implementation, evaluation, and knowledge transfer.
Applications are open until 4pm (AWST) on Friday, 27 September 2024.
The 2025-26 Large Grants Research Program will fund proposals that address research topics of importance to contemporary developments and challenges in higher education equity policy, practice, and evaluation, across the following priorities:
- Alternative Pathways and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
- Supporting academic success and effective and inclusive curriculum design and delivery.
- University engagement with First Nations and diverse equity-bearing cohorts – belonging, empowerment, and the student voice.
Proposals are sought via a two-stage process, with this Expression of Interest (EOI) stage followed by a second stage where successful EOI applicants are invited to submit full detailed proposals for consideration. EOIs will be accepted until 4pm (AWST) on Friday, 6 September 2024.
More information about each program – including application packs, guidelines, eligibility and selection criteria – is available on our Grants & Fellowships page.
