The Research Output Excellence Scholarship (ROES) provides support for higher degree research candidates who have submitted their thesis and wish to write up their research for submission to high quality outlets while they await the result of their examination. This scheme is designed to encourage candidates to submit their thesis in a timely manner, and to disseminate their research findings through high quality outlets that encompass: refereed journal articles, refereed conference papers, and creative works.

The Dean, Griffith Graduate Research School, meets with a panel of the university's Deans (Research) to determine the awardees. The scholarships will be awarded to the nominated candidates who, in the opinion of the panel, best meet the criteria as specified in the ROES Conditions of Award.
