Grants of between $150,000 and $500,000 are available to support projects that enable community participation in four key research areas: disaster resilience and preparedness, environmental change, cyber security and artificial intelligence, and food and agribusiness.
Angus Taylor MP said the grants not only provided exciting opportunities for organisations but also enabled members of the community to get involved and participate in discoveries that could have an impact across the country.
"Citizen science grants are all about coming up with innovative solutions to some of our biggest national challenges," Mr Taylor said.
"I encourage organisations in the local community to put their research project ideas forward for grants."
Citizen Science Grants are part of the Inspiring Australia - Science Engagement Program, which encourages community participation in science and technology, with $4 million available over four years.
Applications for round two are open until December 17. For more information visit business.gov.au/grants-and-programs/citizen-science-grants.
