Research Branch Bulletin

 

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 as soon as possible. This form, along with other submission details, is also available on the Research Branch’s ARC website: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/rb/arc/

Freeze on Government Research Spending: Impact on grant announcements and future ARC and NHMRC funding rounds

There is continued uncertainty over the federal government's freeze on discretionary spending in its bid for a budget surplus. While there are rumours circulating regarding how this ‘freeze’ will affect funds for Australian Research Council (ARC) and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grants neither funding agency are in a position to provide further information on these rumours at this stage.

The Research Branch continues to seek updates and clarification from these funding bodies and will pass on information as soon as we can. In the meantime, we suggest that those researchers planning to apply in the upcoming funding rounds continue to prepare their applications as usual.

If you have any queries, please email arcgrants@adelaide.edu.au (for ARC-related queries) or raohealth@adelaide.edu.au (for NHMRC-related queries).

The Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation (GWRDC) is inviting collaborative multi-disciplinary proposals by way of Preliminary Project Applications (PPA) as part of a two-stage process to address the two high-priority areas of:

• Grapevine germplasm
• Yeast and bacterial germplasm.

Grapevine germplasm: Planting material is the foundation of the wine sector. Planting decisions require high-quality germplasm that is resilient to future climate challenges while being able to deliver desired wine quality and styles. Research will focus on developing, evaluating and identifying rootstocks, varieties and clones that produce desirable wine styles, while possessing a number of other essential properties such as tolerance to drought, heat, salt, soil-borne pests and diseases.

Yeast and bacterial germplasm: Fit-for-purpose yeast and bacterial germplasm are key ingredients in the efficient production of superior wine at a range of price points. Research will focus on developing and evaluating new and enhanced fit-for purpose yeast and bacterial germplasm.

These are two of the priority research areas identified in the GWRDC’s Strategic Research, Development and Extension Plan 2012–17.

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.

The Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation (GWRDC) is inviting collaborative multi-disciplinary proposals by way of Preliminary Project Applications (PPA) as part of a two-stage process to address the two high-priority areas of:

• Grapevine germplasm
• Yeast and bacterial germplasm.

Grapevine germplasm: Planting material is the foundation of the wine sector. Planting decisions require high-quality germplasm that is resilient to future climate challenges while being able to deliver desired wine quality and styles. Research will focus on developing, evaluating and identifying rootstocks, varieties and clones that produce desirable wine styles, while possessing a number of other essential properties such as tolerance to drought, heat, salt, soil-borne pests and diseases.

Yeast and bacterial germplasm: Fit-for-purpose yeast and bacterial germplasm are key ingredients in the efficient production of superior wine at a range of price points. Research will focus on developing and evaluating new and enhanced fit-for purpose yeast and bacterial germplasm.

These are two of the priority research areas identified in the GWRDC’s Strategic Research, Development and Extension Plan 2012–17.  

Funding
This is a category 1 funding scheme, listed on the 2012 Australian Competitive Grants Register (ACGR).
