ARC Discovery-Projects (including fellowships) 2009 for 2010 Funding
Compulsory - QUT Notification of Intent (NOI) ** NOI FORM **
All Chief Investigators and Partner Investigators on ARC projects require GAMS IDs. Please contact the Research Development Team (ext. 82197) for assistance.
THE ARC HAS NOT YET OPENED THIS SCHEME: Funding Rules, Instructions and Sample Application Form currently provided through the links below are for the previous round and applicants will need to read the updated documents when the scheme is opened.
Processes for preparing and submitting ARC Discovery-Project grant applications aim to:
- Ensure local and Office of Research processes are coordinated and clearly communicated to staff as early as possible
- Encourage applicants to prepare applications earlier
- Improve the quality of applications submitted by QUT in major rounds
- Improve the value of Faculty/Institute peer review
- Improve the value of Office of Research consultant and review services
| Important: QUT has discretion not to submit applications to the ARC. A decision may be made not to submit an application, for example, if it is considered to be of particularly poor quality or includes clearly uncompetitive teams, if it is has not been reviewed by appropriately qualified peers, if it is does not meet QUT requirements or where Faculties/Institutes will not/cannot provide required infrastructure support. The Office of Research consults with and receives recommendations from Deans/Assistant Deans Research/Institute Directors in such cases. |

THIS SCHEME HAS CLOSED:
Over a five year period (2009-2013), Future Fellowships will offer four-year Fellowships of up to $140,000 a year to 1,000 Australian and international top researchers who have between 5 and 15 years research experience since the award of their PhD (or equivalent research qualification). In addition, each researcher's administering organisation will receive funding of up to $50,000 per year to support related infrastructure, equipment, travel and relocation costs.
Future Fellowships are expected to be highly competitive, and it is very important that applications address how the candidate and proposal being submitted are aligned with existing and/or emerging QUT research strengths. We request that potential applicants make contact with their proposed host's Assistant Dean Research or Institute Director (as relevant) to discuss their proposal before commencing preparation of an application.
