Funds from the SLF are available for research consortia seeking to enhance their bids under a range of Commonwealth Government research and infrastructure programs in 2009-10. Eligible Commonwealth programs are:
The SLF will be targeted at those research consortia that can demonstrate a clear contribution to NSW Government priorities, as articulated in the Research Partnerships Program and the State Plan. See the Guidelines for details. The SLF grants provide funding for consortia to support research activity, equipment, staff and students located in NSW.
To be eligible for SLF funding, research consortia will need to have their headquarters or a major presence in NSW. As an indicator of ‘major presence’ bids should have at least 40% of their expenditure and research staff located in NSW, however the assessment panel will use its discretion to assess this based on the benefit to NSW.
The Expressions of Interest (EOI) stage is currently open. Applicants wishing to lodge an EOI for SLF funding in 2009-10 will need to complete the Expressions of Interest Application Form. Applications for the EOI stage close at 5pm on Thursday 26 November 2009.
Those consortia that are successful in the EOI stage, will be notified of their success and the maximum level of funding available to them through the SLF. Applicants successful through the EOI will then be asked to submit more detailed information in early 2010, as a full SLF application.

Professional attachment Fellowships: emphasis is placed on intensive management training, peer-to-peer learning, short-term training, knowledge sharing, twinning, professional attachments, leadership and/or executive management training.
Academic Fellowships: specialised research, seminars, short intensive professional programs, and skills development. Academic Fellowship programs must include activities outside the academic study to enhance the Fellow’s professional experience and provide networking opportunities. This could include site visits, seminars and work placements.
