Who can apply

  • Early- and mid-career researchers at Monash University Malaysia.
  • Teams that bring together ECR/MCR from at least two of the MUM Schools.
  • New collaborations — not extensions of existing projects. Prior contact between team members is welcome; it is the proposed project that must be new.
  • Projects that are interdisciplinary and aligned with global health equity.

What the scheme funds

Grants may support any of the following:

  • Workshops and collaborative activities.
  • Research assistance (e.g. hiring a project-based research assistant).
  • Public and policy engagement (e.g. co-production of a global health film).
  • Development of external grant proposals.
  • Development of a new technological tool to address health inequities (e.g. an app, a health literacy website).
  • Other innovative ideas.

Preparing your application

  1. Complete every section of the application form.
  2. Observe the word limits shown against each free-text box.
  3. Confirm your project can be completed, and funds spent, within the project period (September – 31 December 2026). You have until March 2027 to submit the final report.
  4. Secure endorsement from the Heads of at least two Schools represented on the team before submitting.
