This GRLO Bitesized session #25 focused on a Q&A for the National Industry PhD programme's mid-round period. The primary discussion centred on body corporate eligibility requirements, which continue to cause concern for applicants. The team clarified that body corporate requirements only apply to the Industry Researcher stream and primarily affect government entities, not private companies. A case study involving the Aboriginal Languages Trust highlighted tensions between programme intent and legislative constraints. The session also covered application processes, budget formatting, and recruitment support for Round 1 projects still seeking students. Campus Plus offered assistance through their expression of interest database and advertising channels. The team emphasised they cannot provide specific application advice to maintain assessment impartiality. The next session will focus on collaborative agreement challenges.
