Grant Variations - Project Grants

Project grant funding is awarded after a peer review assessment process. These assessments are based on number of determining factors, those factors being the basis of the success of the project. There are, however often extenuating circumstances which affect the original proposal to funding. In these cases a request for grant variation is required.

When requesting a grant variation the Chief Investigator A (CIA) must complete the form below.

Please note: the application form applies to cases where the CIs are requesting variations relating to:

  • Change of Chief Investigators on Project Grants;
  • Variations to the roles for Chief Investigators on Project Grants;
  • Variations to time commitment for Chief Investigators on Project Grants; and
  • The use of Chief Investigators salary to employ other research personnel.

The request for a grant variation is to be made by the Chief Investigator through their Research Administration Office. An explicit justification for variations must be provided with the completed form.

Please ensure all the requested attachments are submitted with your request form. While electronic submission of this documentation is encouraged, the NHMRC requires the original signed request form to be forwarded to the NHMRC at:
