Sydney Informatics Hub Project Scheme
The Sydney Informatics Hub (SIH) Project Scheme is currently closed for applications but keep an eye out for our next call for applications. If you’d like to be notified when we next open applications, contact us at sih.info@sydney.edu.au.
The Sydney Research Infrastructure Access Grants (formerly 'Core Research Facilities User Access Scheme') support access to Core Research Facilities and Research Service Units by researchers whose opportunities may otherwise be limited.
Access Grants can be used to enable work with other facilities, but do not apply to Sydney Informatics Hub.
