Application process

1. When an applicant submits an application they receive confirmation by email.

1. The application is then sent to the Research Office of the institution with which the applicant is associated. The Research Office is notified of this by email.

1. When the application has been processed by the Research Office the applicant receives notification by email. If the Research Office does not approve the application, the applicant is able to edit and resubmit it.

1. Once approved by the Research Office, the application is submitted to the Auckland Medical Research Foundation.

1. Depending on the grant type, the AMRF may then arrange referee reviews of the application. These reviews are not visible to the applicant until after the AMRF has made a decision on funding for the application.

1. The AMRF's Medical Committee will consider the merits of the application and make a recommendation to the Trust Board.

1. When the Trust Board has made its decisions the applicant and the Research Office will receive notification of the outcome.
