The fourth round of the Industry Kickstarter Grant scheme is now open. Grants in the range of $10,000 to $30,000 are offered to successful applications for projects up to 6 months.

The Industry Kickstarter grant is offered by the UQ Agri-Food Innovation Alliance to help academics and industry conduct co-designed and collaborative research that will have a clear pathway of impact within the agri-food sector and provide the partnership with impactful research to leverage further external funding.
