Progress Reports for Grains Industry Research Scholarships
The GRDC provides support for Grains Industry Research Scholarships (GRS) to encourage post graduate training in disciplines that contribute to addressing the research, development and extension priorities of the GRDC and the Australian grains industry.
Scholarships are available for three years and are awarded on the basis of academic excellence, the topic of the proposed research program and the likelihood of the applicant’s ongoing involvement in the grains industry.
During each year in which the recipient receives scholarship funds, the recipient must complete and submit a GRDC progress report.
Scholarship recipients must attach to the progress report any relevant academic progress reports in accordance with the research organisation’s normal procedures. Those reports will describe the recipient’s progress of the educational research and will contain comments by the supervisor on the recipient’s performance and achievements, and whether the recipient is fulfilling the requirements of the postgraduate course in which he or she is enrolled.
Progress reports are currently due on 15 March each year.
Please note that projects in their final year are required to submit a progress report.
Once completed, an electronic copy of the (Microsoft Word) report should be emailed to forms@grdc.com.au. The name of the emailed documents should incorporate the project number.
In addition, the GRDC also requires a signed paper copy of the application and referee reports to be submitted. These should be addressed to:
Contracts Coordinator
Grains Research & Development Corporation
PO Box 5367
KINGSTON ACT 2604
BOTH THE ELECTRONIC AND PAPER COPIES MUST REACH THE GRDC BY THE CLOSING DATE.

The GRDC has not updated the e-forms this year. However, please check you are using the latest templates from the GRDC website prior to creating the Progress Report.
There were some issues with the e-forms particularly with the printing of the e-form last year. These issues have been resolved but if you have any other problems please contact the Contracts Coordinator.
We are currently reviewing our business processes. This review will also include whether the current GRDC e-forms are the best option for the GRDC and our researchers.
