What does ACGR mean in AUSTRALIAN

The ACGR is a registry of grants and awards funded by the Australian Government for research and other innovative activities across a range of sectors. It includes information on the eligibility, assessment and application procedures for available grants and awards.

You can find more information about the ACGR at www.grantsregister.gov.au or by contacting your relevant state/territory government department or agency.

Different types of grants are available through the ACGR, from small seed funding to larger projects with up to three years' worth of funding. Grants may be for research, training, development, innovation and commercialisation initiatives in various sectors such as health care, education, industry & manufacturing, infrastructure & transport and social policy & community services.

Eligibility criteria will vary depending on the type of grant being applied for. Generally speaking, applicants must be an eligible entity based in Australia with an ABN (Australian Business Number) or equivalent registration number as well as current Insurance cover appropriate to their business activity. Depending on which programs or activities you want to apply for you may also need to meet specific requirements such as having an effective tax clearance certificate.

Most applications require submission through Grants Online which you can access from www.grantsregister.gov.au. Once you've found a grant that you are eligible to apply for you must create an account in Grants Online before submitting your application form along with any required documents as outlined in the grant guidelines provided by each program or activity funders website/portal or contact person/agency representative directly via email or telephone if requested.
