Outstanding research grant success

Our researchers enjoy outstanding success in the arena of securing grand funding:

• Our 55% success rate for new ARC Discovery Projects in 2011 was well above the average for both the University and the scheme nationally.
• Our researchers were awarded seven new Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Grants and one Linkage Grant commencing in 2011 including research projects in:
  • Supply chain management;
  • The economic impact of education in developing countries
  • Asset markets;
  • Global patenting systems;
  • Organisational behaviour; and
  • The effect of competition on doctor's pricing.
• These new ARC grants add to the already impressive number of existing grants.
