DEADLINE: Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia)

1 October @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm AWST

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.

The 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.

  • Flagship activities offering grants up to $50,000;
  • Amplify activities providing up to $15,000;
  • Participation Support grants up to $5,000.

On 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.
