Application Process for research opportunities

All research undertaken by either an individual or organisation must have approval by the Research and Evaluation Management Committee (REMC).

In light of COVID-19, REMC will review new research applications on an ad hoc basis and therefore the meetings listed below may not be accurate for the interim future. Responses will be provided to you as soon as they can be collated.

We respectfully request that you are mindful of this unprecedented situation and are patient with receiving your responses.

Commencement or continuation of research with DCS, will not be possible at this stage.

Applicants are requested to review the REMC Information Package for Applicants and follow the application process as outlined in the document.

All research applicants must complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) form. If the EOI is supported in principle, the applicant will then be asked to complete and submit the Full Application Form (Appendix B).

Further detail regarding the application process can be found in the REMC Information Package for Applicants.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure they follow the process as stated in the REMC Information Package for Applicants.

Before submitting an application, applicants are advised to review:

• DCS Research Agenda
