Overview
Recognising the importance of fundamental research to the national innovation system, Discovery Projects supports excellent research projects and individual researchers and teams of researchers. Under Discovery Projects, ARC Fellowships provide opportunities for emerging and established researchers to undertake research of national and international significance.
Objectives
The objectives of Discovery Projects are to:
- support excellent fundamental research by individuals and teams;
- enhance the scale and focus of research in the National Research Priorities;
- expand Australia’s knowledge base and research capability;
- foster the international competitiveness of Australian research; and
- encourage research and research training in high-quality research environments.
Selection Process
The closing date for Discovery Projects proposals was 7 March 2008. Assessment of proposals was undertaken by the ARC College of Experts, which:
- assigned independent readers/assessors to review the proposals;
- sought applicants' comments on assessors' reports;
- identified ineligible proposals;
- ranked each proposal relative to the others on the basis of the proposal, the assessors’ reports and applicants’ responses to those assessments;
- assessed and approved budgets; and
- prepared funding recommendations for submission to the CEO of the ARC.
The CEO considered the recommendations of the ARC's College of Experts Selection Advisory Committee before making recommendations to the Minister who, in accordance with the ARC Act, determined the funding outcomes. Unless otherwise specified, figures presented in this report exclude withdrawn proposals.
Selection Criteria
The assessment of proposals was based on the scheme’s selection criteria:
- investigator(s)' track record relative to opportunities and capacity to undertake the research; (40%)
- significance of and innovation in the proposed research; (30%)
- approach and methodology; and (20%)
- national benefit. (10%)
Funding Levels and Duration
Funding for Discovery Projects proposals may be awarded for one to five years subject to parliamentary appropriation and the provisions of the Australian Research Council Act 2001 (the ARC Act). Australian Postdoctoral Fellowships (APDs) are awarded for a standard duration of three years, but a four-year research option is available, under which the Fellow may spend up to 25% of her/his time on activities other than the proposed project. Australian Research Fellowships (ARFs), Queen Elizabeth II Fellowships (QEIIs) and Australian Professorial Fellowships (APFs) are awarded for a standard duration of five years.
While funding is awarded for Discovery Projects proposals for one to five years, the ARC Act applies limits in relation to the amount and years for which the Minister may approve funding. At the time of award, funding is approved only up to and including the 2011-2012 financial year. Subsequent years and associated funding limits are added by amendment to the Act, following which funding for the additional years may be made available. Accordingly, the term "indicative funding" is used throughout this report to denote the total level of funding which it is proposed to be made available, once all years to which funding proposals relate have been legislated.
Table 1 shows that the average duration of projects funded has risen from 3.16 years in 2005 to 3.27 years in 2009. The average first-year funding per proposal is $116,055. The corresponding figure for 2008 was $106,469.

Early Career Researcher Proposals
For the purposes of Discovery Projects proposals for funding commencing in 2009, Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are identified as researchers who have self-nominated as having a PhD, or equivalent research qualification or experience, awarded on or after 6 March 2003. The ARC has identified funds (about 15%) to support Early Career Researchers within Discovery Projects,through Early Career Researcher-only proposals (that is, proposals in which all the nominated researchers are Early Career Researchers).
Self-nominated ECR-only proposals are assessed against the same criteria as other Discovery Projects proposals.
Self-nominated ECR-only proposals accounted for 682 of the proposals considered, with 106 ECR-only proposals approved for funding commencing in 2009. This represents a success rate of 15.5% for ECR-only proposals.
Table 8 provides details of numbers, success rates and funding levels for ECR-only proposals by panel.

* These are proposals where at least one of the researchers nominated as a Chief Investigator, Partner Investigator or Fellowship candidate is an ECR. They include ECR-Only Proposals (where all named participants are ECRs), as well as proposals in which there are non-ECR participants.
Table 10 shows the funding allocations forproposals for funding commencing 2005-2009 and the percentage of total funds allocated to proposals involving ECRs. This indicates that the highest percentage of funding to projects involving ECRs over the last five years is for projects commencing in 2009. For projects commencing in 2009, the total amount of funding allocated to proposals with ECRs is $107,888,907.

Fellowships
A number of different types of fellowship are offered in Discovery Projects. Researchers are encouraged to tailor their proposals to their specific research needs and proposals may request funding for one or more fellowships together with research project support. (Fellowship candidates who do not request project funding are required to demonstrate that their research costs will be supported by the Administering Organisation.)
The ARC offers three categories of fellowship under Discovery Projects:
- Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship (APD) – offered for a duration of three or four years;
- Australian Research Fellowship (ARF) and Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship (QEII) – offered for a duration of five years; and
- Australian Professorial Fellowship (APF) – offered for a duration of five years.
ARFs and QEIIs are treated as a single category, with the top candidates being awarded QEII Fellowships. All fellowships are tenable at approved universities and certain museums and herbaria. In addition, APDs and QEIIs are tenable at other approved organisations, which provide an appropriate training environment.
Of the 4,152 proposals considered, 1,204 included requests for a total of 1,230 fellowships. The minimum number of fellowships to be awarded in this round is 176 (110 APDs, 52 ARF/QEIIs, and 14 APFs), although the 50:50 salary option (see table 15) has enabled the ARC to recommend funding of a larger number. In total, 195 fellowships have been approved for funding, representing an ARC salary and salary-related on-costs support commitment for new fellows of $15,587,902 for the calendar year 2009.

Partnerships to Fund Fellowships
All fellowships are offered on a full-time basis only. However, the ARC offers a number of salary support options in the form of ARC/Administering Organisation joint funding arrangements to enable flexibility in the activities of the researcher.
For APDs, a four-year 75% salary option is available. Under this option, a fellow may spend 25% of her/his time on activities other than the proposed research project, such as teaching, or on non-remunerated activities, such as family or carer responsibilities. The usual APD is a three-year full-time research position. Of the 649 APDs requested, 114 were for ARC salary funding at 75% over four years.
The ARC offers a 50:50 salary support option for ARF/QEIIs and APFs. Under this option the ARC funds 50% of the salary and salary-related on-costs for research fellows who hold continuing appointments at their organisation, with the Administering Organisation also contributing 50% of the salary and salary-related on-costs over the standard duration of five years. The fellow is supported to conduct full-time research.

Of these, 2,431 (25.7%) are female and 7,016 (74.3%) are male. Success rates by gender are shown in Table 16. In the proposals approved for funding, 477 of nominated researchers (23.3%) are female and 1,574 (76.7%) are male. The overall success rates for female and male investigators is 19.6% and 22.4% respectively.
