If you're planning ahead for research and development projects, now is the perfect time to tap into the ecosystem of support available. Two key Callaghan Innovation grants have recently opened, which are designed to connect your business with bright minds and practical solutions.
Which grant is right for you?
The R&D Career Grant helps you employ a Master’s or PhD graduate, and is perfect for long-term research and development projects. It provides funding towards six months’ salary*, up to $30,000 for a Master’s graduate or up to $35,000 for a PhD graduate.
The R&D Experience Grant funds a full-time tertiary student for a summer internship to inject new energy into your projects, which is a great way to bring in some fresh thinking while also contributing to the future talent pool. This grant includes:
Are you new to Research and Development (R&D)?
The New to R&D Grant is open year-round and provides guidance and support to help you get started.
Already innovating?
Access a 15% R&D Tax Incentive on eligible costs, with expert help to navigate the process.
Innovation is still a priority - and so are you
While Callaghan Innovation is undergoing a transition, it’s important to know that nothing changes for now. It’s business as usual through to 30 June 2026 — and that means all the same great support, guidance, and funding opportunities are still available through CEDA.
Whether you're just starting out on your R&D journey or looking to take your innovation to the next level, Peter Ellingham is here to help. He’ll work with you to understand your goals, explore the best pathways forward, and connect you to the right funding and innovation support within the ecosystem.
Get in touch today and keep your momentum going — because innovation doesn’t stop, and neither do we.
