Australian Research Council

The Australian Research Council (ARC) is a statutory authority within the Australian Government's Innovation, Industry, Science and Research portfolio which advises the Government on research matters.  The ARC supports the highest quality research and research training through national competition in all fields of science, social sciences and the humanities and brokers partnerships between researchers and industry, government, community organisations and the international community.  The ARC manages the National Competitive Grants Program, a significant component of Australia's investment in research and development.

The ARC Discovery programs fund individual researchers and projects.
The ARC Linkage programs help to broker partnerships between researchers and industry, government and community organisations as well as the international community.
The ARC Centres programs build research scale and focus and strengthen major research partnerships and networks.
