The Australian Government is funding 200 new research projects to provide promising early career researchers with the opportunity to develop and apply their research skills in a supportive environment, in projects important to Australia.
Australian Research Council (ARC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ms Judi Zielke PSM, today welcomed the decision by the Hon Jason Clare MP, Minister for Education, to award $85 million for the projects under the Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) scheme.
Ms Zielke said researchers benefit from the opportunity provided by the funding to research and train in high quality, supportive environments.
