AUSTRALIAN SPACE SCIENCE CONFERENCE

The Australian Space Science Conference (ASSC) is the focus of scientific 
cooperation and discussion in Australia on research relating to space. The 
Australasian space scene has gained considerable prominence in the last two 
years. For more information please go to the February News section in the 
Research Office website by following this link:

UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY GUIDELINES FOR ARC DISCOVERY PROJECTS 2004 AVAILABLE
Guidelines to assist University of Sydney applicants in the completion of 
ARC Discovery-Projects applications are now available on the main page of 
the Research Office Website: http://www.usyd.edu.au/reschols.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION - THE SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
Under its "Sixth Framework Agreement" (2002 - 2006) the European Commission 
is directing considerable funding towards collaborative projects involving 
15 European Union Member States, 13 Associated Candidate Countries and 13 
Third Countries having a co-operation agreement (of which Australia is 
one).  "Calls" for proposals are regularly sought in three "Activity 
Areas". For more information please go to the February News section in the 
Research Office website by following this link: 
http://www.usyd.edu.au/su/reschols/news.htm

NHMRC - HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH PROGRAM
A call for Expressions of Interest for funding under the Health Services 
Research Program was made in October 2003.  Applications are due by 27 
February 2004.

The NHMRC understands that some applicants have been approaching officials 
in the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing asking for 
endorsement of their applications.   Whilst the Department is very 
supportive of this funding initiative it is not appropriate for individual 
officers to commit the Department in terms of endorsement for individual 
applications. For more information please go to the February News section 
in the Research Office website by following this link:

RESEARCH GRANTS

AUSTRALIAN DENTAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION (ARDF) - RESEARCH GRANTS

More than 800 research projects have been funded over the past three 
decades by the ADRF. Whilst oral cancer is of particular concern, there are 
other medical conditions, which often relate to oral disease. This 
constitutes an important part of the dental research conducted through ADRF 
Grants. Dental research has also greatly helped to reduce pain in dentistry 
and allay fears associated with oral disease. For more information see:
