To support the overall aims of the CRC Program, CRC-Ps must:
- be a short term, industry-identified and industry-led collaborative research project to develop a product, service or process that will solve problems for industry and deliver tangible outcomes

The minimum grant amount is $100,000.
The maximum grant amount is $3 million.
The grant amount will be up to 50 per cent of eligible grant project value.
The maximum grant period is 3 years.
You can use funding to support costs directly related to the project, including for:
- new research

- pre-commercialisation of research outcomes
- industry-focused education and training activities, such as internships and secondments between industry entities and research organisations.
- conferences, workshops, symposia related to the joint research
- related information sharing and communication initiatives related to the joint research.
Other costs may also be eligible for grant funding.
You cannot use funding for the same activities or project previously or currently financed through any other funding scheme.
Collaborations from all industry sectors, research disciplines and community sectors can apply.
To be eligible as a lead applicant you must:
- have an Australian Business Number (ABN) and

Each CRC-P must include and maintain amongst its project partners at least:
- two Australian industry entities including at least one SME and

You are not eligible to apply as the lead applicant if you are:
