Latest News from the Faculty Research Office
2010 ARC SUCCESS
I am very pleased to announce that nine ARC Discovery Projects and two ARC Linkage Project grant applications submitted by staff through our faculty have been successful. The projects include 2 Australian Postdoctoral Fellowships and 1 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.
On behalf of the Faculty, I would like to congratulate the following staff, and the teams they represent, on this fantastic achievement.
