SUMMARY:DEADLINE: SPARC Awards 2027
DESCRIPTION:The program will recognise and support promising research through funding of up to $200\,000 and bespoke coaching from highly specialised experts for up to 18 months\, guiding projects towards or facilitating entry into the early clinical stage.\nThe purpose of the SPARC Awards 2027 Request for Applications (RFA) is to: \n\nIdentify projects that address a clearly articulated\, global unmet need for the diagnosis\, prevention\, treatment or management of T1D\, and have strong commercial potential.\nFoster multidisciplinary collaboration among research teams\, funders\, industry and the T1D community.\nSupport high potential projects to reduce defined translational risks and progress towards early clinical development through a commercialisation pathway.\n\nBreakthrough T1D and Cicada Innovations will work alongside the funded teams to strengthen commercial capability and facilitate engagement with relevant\, industry\, investment clinical\, community and government stakeholders. \nSuccessful awardees will receive project funding together with bespoke\, specialised mentoring and capability building delivered by experienced commercialisation experts throughout the program ensuring that awardees receive ongoing guidance and support. \nAwardees will work with commercialisation experts\, funding and industry partners to further validate their research and its commercial potential and refine possible pathways to impact in a clinical setting. The goal is to strive toward the development stage\, with a high probability to receive follow-on funding and industry interest.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia)
DESCRIPTION:The Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia) supports early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) in science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) through grants that enable collaboration\, knowledge sharing\, and professional growth. Administered by the Academy on behalf of the Royal Society (Australia) Pty Ltd Board\, the program invests in activities that strengthen Australia’s research ecosystem and respond to current scientific priorities. The initiative is supported by the Theo Murphy (Australia) Fund\, part of a philanthropic bequest dedicated to advancing science in perpetuity. \nThe current structure offers three streams—Flagship\, Amplify\, and Participation Support—designed to empower EMCRs to lead multidisciplinary initiatives\, access development opportunities\, and overcome barriers to participation. \n\nFlagship activities offering grants up to $50\,000;\nAmplify activities providing up to $15\,000;\nParticipation Support grants up to $5\,000.\n\nOn the recommendation of the Australian Academy of Science\, the Royal Society (Australia) Pty Ltd Board determines the activities to be supported with the Theo Murphy (Australia) Fund.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme 2027
DESCRIPTION:NCMAS provides access\, based on research and computational merit\, for researchers at Australian universities and publicly funded research agencies\, to resources at the major national HPC facilities. \nNCMAS supports HPC simulations\, data processing and AI/ML. Quantum computing is also available via Setonix-Q – a portal for Australian researchers to run hybrid quantum–classical workflows. \nThe NCMAS 2027 Call for Applications is expected to be highly competitive. Last year: \n\nAbout 884 million SU (service units) in total were awarded to applicants at the two\nHPC facilities\, NCI and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.\nAllocated resources were only ~40% of the total requested resources\, with the\nscheme more than 2.5x oversubscribed.\n110 of 235 applications (~47%) received allocations on one or more of the HPC\nfacilities.\n\nThe National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme is Australia’s premiere grant scheme for access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources. The two Tier-1 HPC facilities in Australia\, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre\, together offer hundreds of millions of hours of computing time to meritorious researchers.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Nature Awards The Spinoff Prize
DESCRIPTION:The Spinoff Prize is a €30\,000 global award for early-stage university spinoff companies providing an opportunity for academic entrepreneurs to raise their company profile and get noticed by potential investors. It increases the visibility of academic entrepreneurs and their companies and helps them secure future investment.\nThe Spinoff Prize focuses on spinoff companies founded on research in life sciences or physical sciences\, both of which can include digital technology approaches including artificial intelligence\, deep learning\, neuromorphic computing\, and quantum computing. \nFinalist spinoffs will pitch to the slam panels live at the Curious2027 – Future Insight™ conference\, after which one winner will receive a €30\,000 cash prize. All eligible applicants will receive a free online ticket to the Curious2027 – Future Insight™ conference. \nWe define a spinoff as a company that has been formed specifically to commercialise the outputs generated from research conducted at a university or research institute. The spinoff must have been registered as a separate legal entity on or after 7th October 2021. In the application you will have to clearly demonstrate how the underpinning research led to findings which are subsequently being commercialised
