Collaborative funding opportunities

Why UTS?

UTS helps organisations and the private sector succeed in the beneficial world of research funding. Carrying out research can open up access to government schemes, tax offsets and other financial advantages.  
 
Assistance from key funding schemes can help eligible businesses address industry challenges, create products or provide skills training directly through research projects.

To streamline the process, UTS offers advice, partnerships and project scoping to organisations considering research, and offers ongoing collaboration. As a Registered Research Service Provider, we’re also in a position to conduct research and development on behalf of others. 
 
UTS can help with:

  • improving ROI by partnering with UTS on leveraged funding opportunities 
  • providing access to 11 Cooperative Research Centres for co-funded, industry-led research
  • obtaining SME leveraged funding for applied research and development through the Cooperative Research Centre Project program.
