Team Member Salary Scales

Revised team member salary scales reflect increases from Jan 2024 to Jun 2026 provided for in the “Public Service Agreement 2024-2026”.  

Revised salary scales will take immediate effect and should be used in the preparation of applications submitted to Research Ireland. For multi-annual grant applications, applicants should include future increases in their budget requests. Applicants should consider realistic start dates when estimating costs and should contact Research Ireland well in advance of call deadlines where they have specific questions relating to budget preparation.  Applicants are reminded to consult with their Research and Finance Offices in the preparation of their budgets. All budgets must be endorsed by the applicant’s Research Body prior to submission.

Please also note that stipend of PHD students funded by Research Ireland has increased to €25,000 with effect from 01/01/2025.
