The Australian Research Council (ARC) and National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) provide grants to academic researchers. A correct and final grant budget requires instrument time, material preparation and support staff fees. To help you calculate these project-related costs, Microscopy Australia has provided a Grant Application Guide and online tools to calculate these costs and justify your chosen technique, instrument and location.
Each UQ internal project intended to run only at CMM incurs so-called internal costs in terms of instrument time, material preparation effort and staff input. We are happy to help you (UQ CI's and UQ researchers) get these specific numbers right for projects using only CMM resources - please email Roger Wepf and request a cost estimate quotation for your usage at CMM.
