CRC Research Grants Round: First Nations Australians in Climate and Development Cooperation

The Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) Research Grants Round invites organizations, researchers, and development practitioners to conduct applied research in the Indo-Pacific region. The grants are designed to embed First Nations Australians’ knowledge and leadership into climate and disaster resilience programming, producing practical guidance for DFAT and partners. There are two funding streams focusing on either new evidence generation or knowledge translation to real-world application.

Funding for research activities; potential partnerships with diverse sectors; opportunity to influence development cooperation policies and programs.

Projects must be led by or substantively partnered with First Nations Australian organizations and involve in-country partners within eligible Indo-Pacific contexts.
