Expressions of interest now closed
The WA Agricultural Research Collaboration (WAARC) recently put out a call for expressions of interest (EOI) for the WAARC Polyphagous Shot-hole Borer – Fusarium Dieback (PSHB-FD) Research Program.
The EOI application process ran from 20 November to 18 December 2024 via SmartyGrants.
While this was an open EOI, there were strict eligibility requirements including:
- A WAARC member MUST be the lead researcher on the application
- At least 3 WAARC members needed to be included in the collaborative research application
- The application needed to focus on one of the identified research priorities (see attached).
Short-listed applicants were invited to submit a more detailed project proposal for the second stage of the process, which is now complete.
We look forward to announcing the successful applicants soon.
Supporting materials relevant to research submissions:
- Guidelines (for applicants)
