AUSIT Research Project Grants

** AUSIT Research Project Grants are not currently on offer **

AUSIT is committed to quality in translating and interpreting, and therefore encourages professional practice that is informed by empirical research. For this purpose, the National Council has approved a Research Project Grant scheme (ARPG), subject to funding approval in each year’s budget. The aim of the scheme is to fund or otherwise support applied research that can be used to inform and improve our members’ professional practice.

The fund can be used either towards a standalone project, or as part of an Australian Research Council Linkage grant in which AUSIT becomes a Linkage Partner. The maximum amount of the Research Project Grant, on the years when funding is available, is $5,000.

Applicants must:

not be a current member of the AUSIT National Council
be suitably qualified and have a track record in research in translating and/or interpreting or a related field
submit a final report by the due date
agree to present the results of the research at no cost to AUSIT members
agree to write a summary of the findings to be published in AUSIT's 'In Touch' magazine, if requested
