Natural Hazards Research Australia is streamlining and targeting the project concept submissions process for 2024 and beyond.
Project concepts will continue to be funded twice a year, with specific closing dates for applications, however will now open for submission at specific times. This is a change from concept submissions previously being opened year-round.
The next round of concept submissions will open 29 January 2024, closing on 8 March 2024.
The concept submission forms will be updated and available prior to 29 January 2024. Please check in on the Submitting a project idea page for the most up-to-date information.
Accompanying the first round of submissions for 2024, an online briefing will be held. The briefing will provide further information for Participants on assessment prioritisation, high-priority research areas and further information on project concept submissions.
The online briefing was held 1pm AEDT Monday 12 February 2024. Watch the online briefing here.
The prioritisation process has been adjusted to bridge the critical research gaps in social equity, and understanding and mitigating earthquake, cyclone and severe storm risk. Concepts from these areas are highly encouraged to ensure the Centre is responding to knowledge needs identified in our 2023-25 Biennial Research Plan. Research concepts outside of these areas are also accepted.
