  11. Income and Quality ERA 2012 National Competitive G Other Public Industry ERA rating

  12. National Competitive Grants Program Discovery Projects Linkage Projects • Centres of Excellence • Co-Funded & SRI • Future Fellowships • DECRA • Laureate Fellowships • LIEF • Other Fellowships • ITRP • Discovery Projects • Linkage Projects Area of box represents $$ awarded over the period 2008-2013. N.b. ITRP & DECRA running for less than five years.

  13. What should our research allocation look like in 2030 • Focus on quality • Effective programs • Strengthen connections

  15. Research Utopia in 2030 • Not just more $$ • Careful choice of programs • The right balance: • Between established researcher and new talent (and re-entry) • Between competitive funding and block funding • Unconstrained and targeted research

  16. Mapping Engagement: Linkage Projects vs. Discovery Projects $112m $50m $12m Linkage Discovery Strength in scheme avg. p.a. $LP + $DP
