Collaborative Research Fund

Funding South Australian Collaborations

The Defence Innovation Partnership’s Collaborative Research Fund provided up to $150,000 to support genuine collaboration across government, universities and industry, as a catalyst for defence-relevant research, development and innovation.

Between 2018 to 2026, the Collaborative Research Fund supported 40 South Australian-based projects, providing more than $6 million in financial support from State and Commonwealth government, leveraging $10.9 million from the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), industry and university contributions.

The Collaborative Research Fund is no longer available.
