Policy

ARC funding schemes aim to support research and research training in the Australian Government’s four National Research Priority areas of: an environmentally sustainable Australia; promoting and maintaining good health; frontier technologies for building and transforming Australian industries; and safeguarding Australia.  

The ARC complies with the National Principles of IP Management for Publicly Funded Research and is committed to fostering the highest ethical standards in research. ARC-funded research should comply with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research. Research involving humans or animals must comply with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) codes and The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007).

Proposed establishment of Australian Research Integrity Committee (ARIC)

The proposed ARIC will investigate and advise on concerns that institutions have not followed Part B of the Australian Code of the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007) when investigating allegations of research misconduct.

Invitation to make a submission

You are invited to make a submission to the ARC about the draft proposal. For full information on this consultation process, please see the Research conduct and ethics section.

Submissions close on 14 January 2010.
