Both the ARC and NHMRC announced
the results of the bulk of their 2009 grant rounds this week. My
congratulations to all successful applicants and my thanks to the research
managers across the University who assisted with the applications. Particularly pleasing was the resurgence in
the ANU's Linkage Projects Scheme, due no doubt in part to the extra effort
in promoting the Scheme and the Linkage Pilot Scheme.
The next few months will be busy
times for research managers with the 2009 results being announced, the new
ARC Fellowship schemes and the preparation for the 2010 funding rounds. I also congratulate
Bennett MacDonald from the Fenner School who received the 'Sugar R&D
Corporation Award' as part of the DAFF 2008 Australian Agricultural Industries
Young Innovators and Scientists Awards which aim to help young Australians
with innovative plans to boost the competitiveness of Australia's rural
industries. Karen Jackson has now
left the Office of Commercialisation to head the Colleges of Sciences Research
Office. My congratulations to Karen
and I wish her every success in her new role.
The Research Office is currently advertising to fill Karen's former
position in the OC. |
