The Access to Major Research Facilities Program (AMRFP) awarded $12,000 to support researchers in accessing major international research facilities that are not available in Australia, or to attend overseas strategic planning meetings to secure access to a major research facility. Please refer to the list of facilities AMRFP support for more information.

After the announcement of this scheme two weeks ago, ANTSO has received in excess of 20 applications and funding has now been fully allocated.

If you have any further questions regarding future facilities access funding, please contact Dr Jamie Schulz, Operations Manager for the Bragg Institute, ANTSO, or visit:

About the ARC Future Fellowships
The Australian Research Council's 'Future Fellowships' are significant Category 1 fellowships offered to outstanding Australian and international researchers, over four years, currently awarded at up to AUD $182,792 (inclusive of on costs) per annum. The aim of Future Fellowships is to attract and retain the best and brightest mid-career researchers to promote research in areas of critical national importance.

In addition the amount awarded individual Fellows, the ARC will provide Administering Organisations with funding of up to AUD $50,000 per annum, which may be used for infrastructure, equipment, travel and relocation costs directly related to the Future Fellow’s research.


Eligibility and Success Factors
The University was very successful in the last round of Fellowships, with a 43% success rate. Applicants need to have excellent research track records relative to opportunity. Based on the Funding Rules for the last round, dates for the award of PhD (or having achieved equivalent status) to be eligible for a Future Fellowship at the next application opportunity (i.e. for Fellowship funding beginning in 2013) are likely to be on or between 30 November 1997 and 30 November 2007.

Over the past 3 rounds there has been significant growth in national success rate of proposals overall from 20.5% in 2009, to 30.7% in 2011. This was mirrored by growth in the success rate of proposals from resident Australians. The most striking result however is the 41.9% success rate of proposals from “returning Australians” in 2011, while in comparison the success rate of proposals of foreign nationals was only 15.7% in the same year.

These figures support the idea that the Future Fellowships program can provide excellent opportunity for retaining Australian researchers, or recruiting Australian researchers to the University, particularly those currently located overseas.

 

Submission
The Future Fellowships program is coming to a close. There are no more application rounds scheduled beyond the next round for funding to commence in 2013, so now is a good time to start thinking about how to take advantage of this last and significant research funding opportunity before it vanishes.

Funding Rules for the final round may likely be released in September 2012 with applications predicted to close around October / November this year. Until the release of these Funding Rules the Rules for the current round might provide useful background: http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/ft_fundingrules.htm

Intending applicants need to submit a Notification of Intent (NoI) form via email to arcgrants@adelaide.edu.au by Friday 10 August. This form, along with other submission details, is also available on the Research Branch’s ARC website: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/rb/arc/

Cancer Council NSW will be training a number of research consumers in the next month, and is giving researchers an opportunity to reach out to them directly.

Cancer Council NSW works hard to ensure that all funding decisions have the input of a cancer survivor, carer, or other member of the cancer community (collectively known as consumers). As part of this, the Cancer Council NSW asks that all researchers have some input from cancer consumers into their research projects before they apply for grants.

For more information on this, please visit:

It is often difficult for researchers to find consumers to help them with their research. As such, Cancer Council NSW will be compiling a list of any research projects that need consumers and passing it on to consumers directly as part of their training. They will also have presentations from select institutions outlining some of the available opportunities.

Please note that the majority of the consumers will be NSW-based.
The Cancer Council NSW will have other states represented (training will also be provided to the Cancer Australia consumers) but most will live in or around Sydney.

For researchers requiring assistance from a cancer consumer, and who would be interested in their work being included in the training, please forward the following details to Sam Thorp (samth@nswcc.org.au)

  • Title of the project
  • Institution
  • Lead researcher’s name
  • Type of cancer (if relevant)
  • Contact details
  • One paragraph (150 words max) outlining the research. Note that this should be in lay language.

The due date for requesting consumer assistance is Monday the 27th of August

R01 - Research Project Grant
To support a discrete, specified, circumscribed project to be performed by the named investigator(s) in an area representing his specific interest and competencies.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)is to accelerate the discovery of causal genes and variants that influence the risk for disease; and conduct follow-up studies of particular genetic variants to gain novel insights into the functions of these variants and the mechanisms by which they may contribute to disease. Genomic regions of interest are primarily those identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) although other types of evidence may also inform the rationale for a given study.

These studies are essential for the translation of initial GWAS finding into biological insights, and ultimately important for improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease that could lead to predictive, diagnostic, and therapeutic advances.


Funding & Duration
An application may request direct costs of up to $350,000 per year. Application budgets need to reflect actual needs of the proposed project. The project duration may be up to four years.  


Eligibility
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply.

To support a discrete, specified, circumscribed project to be performed by the named investigator(s) in an area representing his specific interest and competencies.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to study human and non-human stem cells involved in alcohol-induced tissue injuries. Alcohol abuse is known to cause pathology in a number of organ systems. Disorders most commonly associated with chronic alcohol consumption include alcoholic liver disease (ALD), pancreatitis, cardiovascular disease, neural damage, endocrine dysfunction, osteoporosis, cancer, and immune dysfunction. The objective of this FOA is to understand the role of stem cells in alcohol-induced tissue damage and recovery, particularly how they are influenced by alcohol metabolism and their role in alcohol-related cancers.

R21 - Projects Exploratory/Developmental Grants
To encourage the development of new research activities in categorical program areas.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages transdisciplinary and translational research that will identify specific biological or biobehavioural pathways through which physical activity and/or weight control (either weight loss or avoidance of weight gain) may affect cancer prognosis and survival. This research will require transdisciplinary approaches that bring together behavioural intervention expertise, cancer biology, and other basic and clinical science disciplines relevant to the pathways being studied. Understanding the pathways through which these interventions are effective would identify the optimal type and intensity of intervention and determine who is most likely to benefit from these interventions by cancer type, age, or other host factors.


Funding & Duration
The combined budget for direct costs for the two-year project period may not exceed US $275,000. No more than US $200,000 may be requested in any single year. The maximum project period is 2 years.


Eligibility
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply.

Research applications must test the effects of physical activity or weight control or both interventions on biomarkers of cancer prognosis among cancer survivors identified by previous animal or observational research, which may include but are not limited to intervention-induced changes in sex hormones, insulin or insulin-like growth factors or their binding proteins, insulin resistance, glucose metabolism, leptin and other adipokines, immunologic or inflammatory factors, oxidative stress and DNA damage or repair capacity, angiogenesis, or prostaglandins.

The Academy provides funding of up to $10,000 as well as the use the Shine Dome free of charge as a venue to host conferences, the themes of which must align themselves with the following available schemes:


Boden Research Conferences (Biological Sciences)

With the support of the late Dr Alex Boden, FAA, the Academy has established a series of small specialist conferences in the biological sciences to enable active research workers in rapidly advancing fields to discuss current advances and problems.

Please note: under this scheme, conferences that are one of a continuing series are less likely to gain support unless they specifically address a newly emerging theme or topic within the broader area of the series.


Elizabeth and Frederick White Research Conferences (Physical Sciences)

With the support of the late Lady White, MBBS and the late Sir Frederick White, FAA, FRS, the Academy has established a series of research conferences in the physical and mathematical sciences related to the solid Earth, the terrestrial oceans, the Earth's atmosphere, solar-terrestrial science, space sciences and astronomy.

The purpose of the conferences is to advance at the most fundamental level of the understanding of the subject, to introduce to Australian research new aspects or directions, and to encourage participation of overseas scientists.

Please note: organisers are asked to make an undertaking on acceptance of an offer of funding from the Academy to call their conference an Elizabeth and Frederick White Conference and to advertise it as such.


Fenner Conferences on the Environment

With the support of Professor Frank Fenner, FAA, FRS, and the late Mrs Fenner, the Academy has established a series of environmental conferences on the environment and conservation issues in Australia and its environs.

The purpose of these conferences is to bring together those with relevant scientific, administrative and policy expertise to consider current environmental and conservation problems in Australia, thereby contributing to the formation of policies that can alleviate some of these problems.

 

The organisers of all approved conferences are responsible for the organisation of the conference, and the sponsoring scientific society(ies) are responsible for the funding allocated to the conference.
