The Lowitja Institute Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Seeding Grant Scheme offers three separate funding streams. The streams aim to support all levels of research readiness; from community-controlled organisations which have never led research before through to early career researchers partnering with communities to undertake a small research program.

Lowitja Institute's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Seeding Grant Scheme for 2023 aims to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early career researchers to lead community driven research. The purpose of the Seeding Grant Scheme is to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to grow small ideas, transform, and action research from community priorities into meaningful research projects. Acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems, the Seeding Grant Scheme offers three streams, as follows: 

• Stream 1: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Seeding Symposium 

• Stream 2: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Seeding Grant

• Stream 3: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Early Career Researcher Partnership Grant
