ARC Grant Success
In the latest round of funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC) researchers within the faculty were awarded nine Discovery grants and two Linkage grants. For Discovery grants this represents a success rate of 34.6% for the faculty compared to the Monash overall average of about 27.,8%.
“The projects include two Australian Postdoctoral Fellowships and one Australian Postgraduate Award (Industry). Only 16 APD Fellowships were awarded by the SBE Panel so it is terrific that our faculty researchers have obtained two of these.
“In addition to these successes, faculty staff have also participated in three successful ARC Discovery Projects and three successful ARC Linkage Project grants submitted through other faculties at Monash, or through other institutions. Overall, the faculty has had another outstanding year to build on last year's exceptional result,” say Professor Kim Langfield-Smith, Deputy Dean (Research).
