The purpose of the Research Incentive Grants scheme is to make it possible for an Early Career Researcher to undertake, as the Principal Investigator, a short research project, either of a stand-alone nature or in the form of an initial study that could be expected to lead to a more extensive project. The Research Incentive Grants (RIG) scheme allows an Early Career Researcher to undertake, as the Principal Investigator, their own project or line of research, either of a stand-alone nature or in the form of an initial study that could be expected to lead to a more extensive project. The principal criteria for the award of a RIG are that the planned research is original and addresses a new idea/research question/hypothesis, extends existing knowledge, or aims to develop new methodologies.
