Sector projects are designed to be undertaken in partnership between several organisations and 糖心原创. So, your proposal must be a joint application between your organisation and at least one other organisation.
We request that you and your proposed partner/s draft the EOI together. You will be prompted when completing your EOI to include details of all proposed partner organisations.
You will also be asked to submit a brief letter of support from each of the named partner organisations as part of your EOI. Each letter of support must indicate the partner's willingness to be involved in the proposed research project and be on the partner organisation's letterhead.
