About us

The Monash Research Office works in partnership with university staff and researchers to support the development of coherent, compelling and highly competitive proposals, ensuring their compliance with funding body requirements. We act as the key liaison point between Monash University and funding bodies such as the ARC, NHMRC and many others, ensuring a smooth and timely flow of information. We have and in-depth knowledge of funding rules, guidance documents, instructions to applicants, funding agreements, reporting and variation procedures and are a veritable source of advice. We work closely with other university support areas to ensure our researchers receive outstanding support and reliable advice.
