I have every confidence that this latest review of Australian R&D - or rather ‘strategic examination’ - will make largely the same findings and produce pretty much the same recommendations as every other review of R&D in the past 20 years. It will find Australia doesn’t spend enough on R&D, that what we spend is spread too thinly, that our innovation culture is poor, and that public investment in R&D isn't producing much in the way of tangible economic benefit. For this, universities will cop a lot of the blame. If we’re lucky, it might find that we put too much money into the wrong things. It will recommend changes to the R&D tax incentive; to university recruitment, performance assessment and promotion practices; IP laws; funding bodies; grant guidelines. It will almost certainly recommend more prioritisation and more funding for late-stage, commercially oriented research, despite the dial having already been turned too far in that direction in Australia. In the current environment it might recommend more interference with what universities decide to research, and how - but independent medical research institutes will escape scrutiny. The ‘strategic examination’ may even recommend a concerted national effort to boost investment in R&D, though as has been the case for the past 20+ years - since the extra funding tipped into R&D by the Howard Government, courtesy of the mining boom - this recommendation will come to naught. Any aspiration toward matching international or OECD benchmarks will be ignored, as always. I would love to be wrong. #RnD #research #ResearchandDevelopment #Innovation #productivity

I am thrilled to share that I have successfully completed the COPPHA peer reviewing course, offered by #Peoples-Praxis in partnership with Public Health Africa and supported by #WACREN. This course is part of an important initiative to build capacity in public health, open science, and research methodologies, especially for professionals in low- and middle-income countries. Throughout the course, I gained skills in research evaluation, ethical review practices, and open publication of scientific findings. I extend my gratitude to Peoples-Praxis and WACREN for this enriching opportunity. I look forward to applying these skills to make meaningful contributions to public health research and practice. #Learningjourney# #PublicHealth# #ScientificWritting# #PeerReview# #PublicHealthAfrica# #Research#

Round 16 of the CRC-P grants is open!    Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic MP today announced the opening of Round 16 of the CRC-P grants. The round will close at 17:00 AEST on 5 June 2024. CRC-Ps are a federally funded grants program designed to support an industry-led collaboration with research institutions. They can provide matched funding of up to $3 million over three years. This latest round is open to all industry sectors, however, it will have a focus on supporting projects in line with Government priorities, including the National Reconstruction Fund (NRF) priority areas. There have been some updates to the guidelines between Round 15 and 16.  Key changes are: The lead applicant must be an SME at lodgement of application (less than 200 employees). The requirement for the collaboration to include an SME throughout the whole project period has been removed. Consolidated groups for tax purposes are now included in the definition of SME and there have been some minor updates to wording to clarify how confidential information will be managed. CRA is delighted to host a free Round 16 Information Session with the Department of Industry, Science and Resources on Wednesday, May 8 2:00 - 3:30pm AEST. Register here: https://lnkd.in/g_vb6xfP Speakers: Martin Dent, Department of Industry, Science and Resources Jane O'Dwyer, Cooperative Research Australia Natalie Chapman RTTP GAICD, gemaker Further speaker to be announced.
