That was a great chat, Christiana really nailed it! Have a look, her work is an absolute must, and a really original approach to long-standing questions on HSCs division

Adding on to these data on chances of success in having successive NHMRC Investigator Grants funded, here are data showing the levels (EL2 & above) & the % of recipients who were previously funded, either at earlier levels (eg EL1 applying for EL2) or at the same level (eg L3 being renewed). 👇🏻

Finally got around to doing some analysis on what reapplying #NHMRC investigator grant holders* are having on the scheme.
L2/L3 heavily impacted, with ~70% of the 2025 round going to previous winners.

Food for thought for 1st timers trying to get in

*dependent on identical names across rounds.
