The 2025 round will focus on quality projects that address or respond to contemporary and future challenges to, and/or have implications for, accounting and finance practice, policy and/or the professions. Grants are competitive, and are primarily intended to support small-scale projects of up to one year’s duration or to assist in seed funding for larger scale projects. The pool of funds comes directly from fees paid by institutional members. As such, access to the ARF is limited to AFAANZ individual members based at a member institution.</span> </p><p style="margin:0;font-size:14px;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px"> </p><p style="margin:0;font-size:14px;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> <span style="word-break: break-word; font-size: 14px;">To view categories, eligibility and application process please see <a href="https://d15k2d11r6t6rl.cloudfront.net/pub/xxaw/v400uo21/yfm/xx1/vtg/2025%20AFAANZ%20Research%20Fund%20Call%20for%20Applications.docx" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0068A5;" rel="noopener">HERE</a>.
