AUSIT Research Grants
AUSIT is committed to quality of translating and interpreting. AUSIT 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 towards a stand-alone project or as part of an Australian Research Council Linkage grant, where AUSIT becomes a Linkage partner. The maximum amount of the research project grant, on the years when funding is available, is $5000.
Financial Year 2021/22: Please note that in order to enable the continuation of discounted membership fees for all members, AUSIT will only be able to provide in-kind support to suitable projects this year. Grant funding will again be considered for the 22/23 financial year.
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 the AUSIT magazine
- complete the form below and submit it to the Education Committee Chair by the set deadline.
The Chief Investigator must:
- be an active AUSIT member (all AUSIT member categories are acceptable)
- be attached to an Australian university or tertiary institute that is an AUSIT affiliate.
If you believe you meet the requirements, please fill out the application form and send it to pd@ausit.org. Applications for the Research Grant will be accepted for the period 1 January to 31 July (inclusive) each year.
