The ARC has introduced a new open access policy for ARC funded research which takes effect from 1 January 2013. The overarching aim of ARC's Policy is to ensure that the findings of publicly funded research are made available to the wider public as soon as possible, so that both the research community and the public may derive the maximum benefits of knowledge acquired through ARC funded research. According to this new policy the ARC requires that any publications arising from an ARC supported research project must be deposited into an open access institutional repository within a twelve (12) month period from the date of publication.

Commencement of the ARC Open Access Policy
The policy commenced on 1 January 2013, but the first publications are not potentially due to be made available in an institutional repository until after 1 January 2014. This policy will be incorporated into all new Funding Rules and Agreements released after 1 January 2013. It will NOT be applied retrospectively to pre-existing Funding Rules and Agreements.

Copyright Restrictions
The ARC is aware of copyright and licensing arrangements currently in place between authors, institutions and publishers. Should ARC policy conflict with existing copyright agreements, this information must be provided at the time of Final Report Submission.

For a detailed overview of the ARC’s Open Access Policy, please visit:
http://www.arc.gov.au/applicants/open_access.htm

Queries regarding the University’s compliance with this policy may be directed to the Research Branch by emailing arcgrants@adelaide.edu.au

 

The Research Branch compiles and advertises a comprehensive list of grants and other research funding opportunities sponsored by U.S. Federal Funding Agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense.

Advanced notices of U.S Federal funding opportunities, together with current requests for proposals, are updated and advertised on a weekly basis within the "U.S. Federal Funding Opportunities" section of the Research Branch Bulletin.

Submission - Letter of Intent (LOI)
Schemes requiring a Letter of Intent prior to application will be advertised according to the LOI external due date. Unless otherwise advertised, all Letters of Intent are to be submitted directly to the sponsor by the external due date listed. A copy of your LOI should also be forwarded to the Research Branch for the attention of the International Grants Officer.

The AICC Grants Program provides funding for international arts and cultural projects that align with the objectives of the AICC. The program is not a typical arts funding program in that it is not primarily concerned with supporting artists and companies to tour internationally to develop their work. The program’s focus is on specific cultural relations objectives that contribute to advancing Australia’s foreign and trade policy priorities and enhance understanding of Australia overseas.

Priority Regions
The AICC Grants Program focuses on priority regions which reflect Australia's broad public diplomacy and foreign and trade policy interests. Applications must be for cultural diplomacy projects incorporating activities in priority regions. The AICC's priority regions, in order of priority, are:

• Asia (from India to Indonesia to Mongolia)
• South Pacific
• Middle East and Africa
• the Americas and Western Europe

Funding
Funding is capped at AUD $40,000 per application. Funding is intended to encourage partnerships with other areas of government, corporate sponsors and private donors, and applicants will normally be expected to demonstrate that they are seeking assistance from other sources.

Eligibility
Individual artists and professional arts and culture workers are eligible to apply. Individual applicants must be Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents. Proof of Australian citizenship or residency may be required. Groups and Organisations are also eligible to apply. Please refer to the guidelines on the AICC website for more information.

The opportunity uses the U19 Research Program - Cooperative Agreements (U19) funding mechanism.

 

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) invites multi-project applications to be part of a network of synergistic research teams focused on the immunological parameters of virus infection and vaccination that are important for understanding the key molecular and cellular immune mechanisms involved in the natural control of infection, the induction of protective immunity by vaccination, or the immune-mediated processes that cause pathology after virus infection or vaccination.

Studies involving multiple viruses are encouraged to foster discovery of novel immune mechanisms and generalizable principles of anti-viral immunity.

The viruses of interest to the Immune Mechanisms of Virus Control (IMVC) program are listed as part of the NIAID Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases. The ultimate goal of this program is to discover and define novel basic immune mechanisms for controlling virus infections that will lead to new potential targets for developing future vaccines and therapeutics.

The SA Grain Industry Trust (SAGIT or the Trust) has established funds for research, development, and extension into the growing, harvesting, storage, processing and marketing of grain in SA, in order to increase profitability and sustainability of the grains industry.

Funding & Duration
SAGIT does not receive Commonwealth funds and therefore qualifies as an Eligible Partner in the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Linkage Projects. Research Projects typically run for several months to a maximum of three years, reviewed annually. SAGIT will look favourably on projects where the applicant has shown initiative in identifying potential opportunities for cooperative funding arrangements.

Selection Criteria
Preference will be given to projects which meet the following criteria:

• Major emphasis on benefit to SA farmers
  
  
• Most work will be conducted in SA, but this does not exclude outside activities of benefit to SA.
  
  
• Applications should outline the issue being addressed, why it is important to farmers, the key questions, a brief summary of work done to date by the applicant and others, and why the approach has potential to succeed.
  
  
• Without losing sight of innovative research, emphasis will be on more immediate outcomes for farmers through development and adaptation of research, and extension.
  
  
• Greater emphasis will be placed on the impacts of the work on the farm system and business (rather than just science per se), and on the path to market for project outcomes both at the time of application, during the project and in the final evaluation.
  
  
• Opportunities for synergies and on leveraging through partnerships with other funding sources and industry.
  
  
• Emphasis on project evaluation, especially in terms of real or potential farmer benefit and how the adoption of the results will be measured.
  
  
• Commercial and IP revenues are an important consideration but not the main driver.

 

Capital Item Application
SAGIT will usually only consider funding Capital Items as a part of a Project, however in exceptional circumstances Capital Item Only Applications will be considered. The relevant form can be downloaded from www.sagit.com.au

Travel Application
SAGIT will usually only fund Travel as a part of a larger project, unless there is a demonstrable benefit to the SA Grains Industry.  The relevant form can be downloaded from www.sagit.com.au.  
The call for travel applications occurs at the same time as capital and new applications and follows the same guidelines.
