  1. Professor Alan JohnsonExecutive Director,Biological Sciences and Biotechnologyalan.johnson@arc.gov.au

  2. Major ARC Programs - www.arc.gov.au • Discovery Programs (DP) APF, ARF/QEII, APD, Indigenous RD • Federation Fellowships (FF) • Linkage Programs (LP) International, LIF, APDI, APAI • Linkage-Infrastructure Equipment & Facilities (LIEF) • Centres of Excellence (CoE) and National CoE • Research Networks

  3. C o E CENTRES NETWORKS TEAMS (Linkage – Discovery) INDIVIDUALS (ECR – Discovery) Focus Capability

  4. Discovery Projects • Key Strategic Objective: develop and maintain a broad foundation of high-quality world-class research across a wide range of disciplines • Roles: CI, PI, APF (>8 years), ARF/QEII (3<8), APD (<3), ECR (<5) • Selection Criteria: Investigators-------------- 40% Project sig and innov--- 30% Project approach ------- 20% Project nat benefit------ 10% Funding:Up to $500,000 p.a for up to 5 years

  5. Federation Fellowships (for 2003) • Eligibility criteria: Applicants will be distinguished researchers who are at the forefront of international research and who are either:- ● Australian-based Australian researchers of the highest international standing, ● expatriate Australian researchers of high international standing, or ● extremely high profile non-Australian researchers (up to 5 per year)

  6. Linkage Projects • Key Strategic Objective: Encourage and extend coop approaches to research by strengthening links within Australia’s innovation system and within innovation systems internationally • Roles: CI, LIF, PI, APDI (< 3 years), APAI • Selection Criteria: Invest Track Record --20% Proj sig and innov -----25% Proj appr and trg------- 20% Proj national benefit -- 10% Ind Partner commit --- 25% Funding: Up to $500,000 p.a. for up to 5 years

  7. Linkage―Infrastructure • Aims to • encourage institutions to collaborate to develop infrastructure • support large-scale cooperative initiatives for sharing expensive facilities • support areas of research strength and researchers in recognised areas of research potential • Applications request > $100,000. ARC contributes at most 75% of the direct cost of purchasing equipment or establishing facility.

  8. ARC Centres of Excellence • CoE selection round announced in Dec 2002 • Biotechnology & Development • Quantum computer technology • Advanced Silicon Photovoltaics & Photonics • Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems • Autonomous Systems • Mathematical & Statistical Modelling for Complex Systems • Integrative Legume Research • Quantum-Atom Optics • Plus: ACPFG, NICTA, NSSC

  9. ARC Centres of Excellence • ARC discussing co-funded Centres of Excellence with potential partners • ARC forward planning indicates a selection round for Centres of Excellence for funding to commence 1 July 2005 • ARC Research Networks, a new program with selection for funding to commence 1 July 2004.

  10. ARC Research Networks - Objectives • Build focus and scale • Encourage inter-disciplinary approaches • Facilitate collaboration • Support highly innovative research • Embrace risky research • Address the “hard” challenges • The ARC intends that Networks will operate successfully across institutional and administrative boundaries • ARC encourages engagement of NHMRC, CSIRO, ANSTO, AIMS, DSTO, GA, Antarctic Division, Australia Council, Rural research boards, State instrumentalities, private sector researchers, etc etc
