Welcome to this fortnight's
Research Office Newsletter. The ARC has now announced the
outcomes of Round 2 of 2008 Linkage Projects with the
ANU receiving eight Linkage Project grants in the Round. Coupled
with the 21 applications that we have submitted for the 2009 Linkage
Round 1, this is an excellent result and an indication of the
ANU's greater involvement with Linkage Projects. Given the
importance of this scheme I would like to thank everyone involved in
achieving these outcomes. We also had a pleasing increase in our involvement
in the ARC Linkage International grant round. Hopefully we will see
similar interest in the forthcoming NHMRC rounds. The release of
the ERA consultation paper has been delayed, with the ARC postponing its
briefing sessions scheduled for this week. I will let you know when the
consultation paper has been released. |

Future
Research Leaders Program (FRLP) We have received the
results of an evaluation process, with some very positive feedback on the
FRLP trials that were held in April. Participants particularly enjoyed the
interactive style of the sessions, taking advantage of networking with
researchers at a similar level to themselves, and the informative
presentations given by more senior researchers. We will continue
rolling out FRLP modules over June and July, with the following on offer: Intellectual Property & Commercialisation
Hosted
by the Office of Commercialisation Workshop
to be held on Friday June 13 Financial, Resource and Risk Management

NEWS & NOTICES ARC Schemes 2008 ANU Linkage Pilot Project
Fund (Round 1) This internal fund seeks to identify ANU researchers who are able to
demonstrate a potentially viable pilot project involving one or more industry
partners which can then be developed to apply for ARC Linkage Project funding
within the next year. Mentoring support will be available, both for the researchers and
their local area administrators, to ensure that the budding applications have
the greatest internal support possible for success with the ARC. The guiding principles for the applicants will be: 1. To develop collaborative research alliances with organisations
outside the University; 2. To encourage innovative research; 3. To enhance the ANU’s industry-oriented research,
and our ability to provide a fertile training ground for future researchers
and industry leaders. Funding Guidelines and application form are available at : http://www.anu.edu.au/ro/restrict/Linkage_Pilot.php Applications are open
from 2 June 2008 to 1 July 2008. For further information regarding the Scheme, please see : http://www.anu.edu.au/ro/restrict/Linkage_Pilot.php College Research Managers/Administrators please contact your College Contact in the Office of Sponsored
