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/

The DataConnect Project at the University of Adelaide

 

The DataConnect Project is developing a directory of research data collections at the University. DataConnect is based on three simple concepts: Capture, Cite, Connect.

DataConnect will capture descriptions about our research community’s datasets and data collections. Contributors will be able to provide a brief description of their dataset or data collection and then cite the people and projects related to the data. The system will integrate information from other sources such as ResearchMaster, PeopleSoft, the ARC and NHRMC and the National Library of Australia, in order to provide rich contextual information with minimal input from the contributor.

Staff are welcome to participate in User Acceptance Testing in November.

Visit the DataConnect webpage for further information, or contact Cathy Miller, Research Data Project Officer on 831 35069, or cathy.miller@adelaide.edu.au.

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.

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 provide support for integrated, innovative research on the novel and unconventional contributions of ethanol metabolizing pathways, their metabolites, cofactors, and interactions with synergizing biological pathways in the development of alcohol- induced diseases and end organ injuries.

It is anticipated that this FOA will generate data that may lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of identifying key cellular and molecular components in the initiation, progression and maintenance of the diverse medical disorders caused by excessive, long term alcohol consumption. In the future this knowledge may be critical in the diagnosis, treatment and management of vulnerable patient population debilitated by the vast array of alcohol-induced pathologies and enable clinicians to improve disease outcomes and, consequently, public health.
