Applications should be submitted to research@woundcrc.com by 11.59 pm Wed 11th Feb 2015. Queries
can also be submitted to this e-mail address at any time and a phone hotline will operate 2-4 pm on Thurs
5th and Tues 10th on 07 3138 4899 to assist with form filling enquiries.
Please submit applications as both word and pdfs. The pdf will be used for review, and the word document

Projects for studentships must be submitted on this Student Application Form and students will need to
complete their PhDs by June 30th 2018. This is the last funding opportunity for students starting their PhDs.
Masters and Honours projects will continue to be considered at later dates via the Student Application
Form but can also be submitted for consideration on Feb 11th.
The CRC funds PhD students for a maximum of 3 years providing $7000 p.a. as a top-up student stipend and
$15,000 p.a. in operating costs. Students who have already started their PhD will receive funding up to the
equivalent of 3 years full time from enrolment. E.g. John Doe started his PhD on 1st Feb 2014, full time. He
receives a PhD scholarship from the CRC on 1st March 2015, so he will be eligible for 1 yr and 11 months of
PhD scholarship. For Masters and Honours Students a $5000 scholarship plus operating funds of $7,500
p.a. is available.
If a student is already enrolled, assume a start date of 1st March 2015 for the CRC scholarship.
Round all budget figures to the nearest dollar.
It is a condition of funding that students sign a deed poll assigning their IP rights either to the University or
to the CRC.
