All accountable authorities and officials must use GrantConnect to publish all Grant Opportunities, all Grant Opportunity Guidelines and all addenda/alterations. 

The ARC will no longer publish Grant Opportunity Guidelines (formerly known as Funding Rules) on our website.

You will need to sign in or create a User Registration account  in GrantConnect to access all relevant documentation for Grant Opportunities.

All Forecast Opportunities for Discovery Program are now available on GrantConnect.

For further information on GrantConnect, please refer to the ARC GrantConnect information page or the GrantConnect website.
