ARC response to COVID-19
The ARC understands that it is a very challenging time for researchers and research administrators. While the ARC continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation very closely, we are continuing to progress administration of the National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP) across grant application, peer review and post award activities because an important role of the ARC is to ensure we continue to deliver funding outcomes that will support researchers in the recovery period and beyond.
The ARC is aware that the current COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and impact the research sector in various ways. We are addressing issues as they come to hand and developing contingencies for the impacts on many ARC-funded researchers, current or prospective, as well as for research administrators, peer review assessors and selection advisory committee members.
