The objective of Supporting Responses to Commonwealth Science Council Priorities is to support the development of Australian research in priority areas as set by the Commonwealth Science Council. It aims to provide the Learned Academies and the Australian Council of Learned Academies with the flexibility to achieve that objective in leveraging existing funding provided by non-ARC sources.

The 2017 round of Supporting Responses to Commonwealth Science Council Priorities scheme will address the following Commonwealth Science Council approved horizon scanning topics:

• Internet of Things
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Next Generation Agriculture

More information on these topics is available on Australia’s Chief Scientist’s website. 

A Proposal may only be submitted through an Eligible Organisation as specified in the Funding Rules.

The Eligible Organisation that submits the Proposal will be the Administering Organisation and all other Eligible Organisations listed on the Proposal will be Other Eligible Organisations. A Proposal may only be submitted once in the same funding scheme round regardless of any variation in the proposed research, the listed researchers and/or Administering Organisation.

A Project may be applied for and awarded ARC funding for up to one year.

From $50,000.00 to $400,000.00

Administering Organisations must submit Proposals through RMS unless otherwise advised by the ARC. All Proposals must meet the format and content requirements, including certification, as set out in the RMS online form and the relevant scheme Instructions to Applicants.
