All program areas (except Medical Research) have a two-stage application process: Stage 1 requires submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI). If selected, EOI applicants will then be required to submit a Full Application (Stage 2). Medical Research is by Full Application only.

This process is set out in more detail on the program area pages.
