Innovative and pioneering approaches and collaborative, interdisciplinary projects are encouraged. Applications should:
• Outline clearly and in detail how this award will enable the proposed research and lead to its completion.
• Demonstrate how the outcomes of the project are expected to contribute to the field by filling research gaps and promoting further research.
• Demonstrate the capability of the researcher/s to achieve the proposed outcomes. This can be proven through past academic achievements, prior publications, and reference letters.
