                        Rockhampton Campus, 32/LG.15

Researchers are required to bring along a full draft of their application (copies to Leslie Walker ONE WEEK before the workshop so multiple copies can be made for the group work).

Participants must register at least one week prior to this second workshop.

The assessments will be discussed in group work at this workshop, together with key aspects of the application including:

• Title
• Summary of Proposal
• FORs/Keywords
• Track Record of Team Members
• Research Proposal
• Budget
• Budget Justification

The workshops will be jointly facilitated by Professor Jennelle Kyd, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic & Research) and Professor Chad Hewitt, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research).
