Can I add extra rows in the EOI form to list more Chief Investigators?
No. At the EOI stage, only one Chief Investigator is required. Further team details will be submitted during the full application process.
Project Team
The EOI form only asks for the Chief Investigator. Can I list the rest of my project team?
No. The EOI form is designed to collect details only for the Chief Investigator. If your application progresses to the full application stage, you will be required to provide the full project team details at that time.
What if the Early Career Researcher (ECR) is not the Chief Investigator?
These grants are intended to support Early Career Researchers, so in most cases the ECR will also be the Chief Investigator listed in the EOI. However, in some instances the Chief Investigator may be a senior researcher supporting the ECR.
What is an Early Career Researcher?
The Intensive Care Foundation deliberately chooses not to set a fixed definition for “Early Career Researcher” in the grant guidelines. We recognise that career trajectories can vary widely across individuals and disciplines, and we aim to be inclusive of diverse research pathways.
Instead, we ask applicants to include a brief narrative statement within their application outlining why they consider themselves to be early career. This allows applicants to describe their current career stage in their own words and explain how their experience, qualifications, and professional goals align with the intent of an early career researcher.
