Gender Snapshot Grants commencing in 2019

Table 1: Success Rates by Scheme by Gender

Note 1: This includes all named researchers on proposals, including Partner Investigators. Only researchers who identified as male or female are included in the data. A very small number of researchers did not identify as female or male.
Note 2: An individual research participant may be involved in more than one project in one or more scheme rounds. The participant is counted more than once in these cases.
Note 3: Data is presented for applications that have been finalised and announced by Minister and excludes LP19, which is not finalised yet.
