Applying for ARC

As part of the EDGE agenda UTAS needs to increase its share of competitive and other grant funding. The benefit and value of peer review has been strongly demonstrated. A University wide Peer Review process for all ARC grants is now required (April 2008). You can select an experienced person from other research environments or from the UTas Peer Review College names. Peer review feedback however, does not include comments from other applicants on the proposal. This feedback is to be attached to the submission along with the Research Office ARC Grants Submission Cover Sheet.


For most schemes, individual researchers will approach colleagues to provide that feedback. In the case of some of the more specialised schemes (LIEF, Federation Fellowship, Centres of Excellence), the feedback will be managed through a Working Party established by the Pro Vice Chancellor (Research).

While we will make every effort to ensure the application is complete, the later you leave the submission, the greater the chance that it might not get through in time. In addition to forwarding the submission to ARC, there are a number of checks that we must undertake. Therefore, applications not received by the Office of Research Services internal deadline will not be progressed to the Pro Vice Chancellor (Research) for signing nor will it be submitted via GAMS.
