Australasian Association for Institutional Research (AAIR): 18th Annual
AAIR Forum - 2008 theme: Enhancing Quality Research: a Global
Perspective - Hyatt Hotel, Canberra from 19th-21st November, 2008.
This year's theme Enhancing Quality Research: a Global Perspective will
provide the forum with a specific focus on research while still allowing
parallel streams on the various broader aspects of institutional
research. Institutional researchers in universities and other research
intensive organisations have a unique opportunity to contribute to their
institutions' understanding of their research effort and in benchmarking
the quality of their research by:
* Supporting policy initiatives through the analysis of strategic
outcomes;
* Benchmarking research performance across sectors and over time
(and increasingly more into the future);
* Analysing pathways through which students/staff move into
research areas; and
* Involving themselves in the development and implementation of
either local or national frameworks for monitoring research activities.
Call for Abstracts close: 4th July 2008
Early-bird Registrations close: 30th September 2008

UPDATE: The Australian Research Council and Australian Bureau of
Statistics: Joint road-show to Higher Education Institutions: Hosted by
the University of Sydney
The Australian Research Council (ARC) and the Australian Bureau of
Statistics (ABS) will be providing an information session regarding
Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative and the recently
released Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification
(ANZSRC).
It is expected that participants will largely be directors and staff of
Research Offices who will be using the classification for funding and
data collection purposes.
The ERA initiative, currently being developed by the ARC will assess
research quality using a combination of metrics and expert review by
committees comprising experienced, internationally-recognised experts.
The presentation will outline the proposed approach to ERA, and discuss
the ERA Consultation Paper, scheduled for release in May. The session
will provide an opportunity for attendees to ask questions regarding ERA
and its implementation. The ARC will also discuss the upcoming ranked
outlets consultation process.
The Australian Research Council and Australian Bureau of Statistics will
be conducting a joint road-show to Higher Education Institutions in
capital cities during May to raise awareness of the 2008 Australian and
New Zealand Standard Research Classification. The presentation will take
approximately 2 hours and will discuss the new classification and how it
differs from the 1998 version, concordances between the old and new
classification, and provide an opportunity to ask questions.
When: 19th May 2008, 11am-1pm
Where: Professorial Board Room, Main Quadrangle.

The Australian Academy of the Humanities- The Publication Subsidy Scheme
Introduction: The AAH gives priority to works that require a subsidy for

prospects, however, will not be supported by the AAH. The AAH normally

required.

in Australia. Both independent scholars and those working within an
institution are eligible for the scheme.

ARC FUTURE FELLOWSHIPS CONSULTATION VISIT
Professor Margaret Clayton from the Australian Research Council (ARC)
will be visiting The University of Sydney to discuss the ARC's Future
Fellowships Scheme, the recently released Future Fellowships
Consultation Paper and obtain feedback regarding the scheme.
The Future Fellowships Consultation Paper was released by Senator Kim
Carr the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research on 23
May. The Consultation Paper outlines the proposed administrative
arrangements for the Future Fellowships scheme.
The ARC appreciates the valuable role stakeholder feedback plays in
developing funding rules and effectively implementing a new scheme. We
are seeking comments on the proposed administrative arrangements for the
new Future Fellowships scheme and would particularly appreciate feedback
on the specific issues outlined in the Consultation Paper.
The Australian Government announced the creation of a new scheme, Future
Fellowships, to promote research in areas of critical national
importance by giving world class researchers incentives to conduct their
research in Australia. The aim of Future Fellowships is to attract and
retain the best and brightest mid-career researchers.
Over a five-year period (2009 -2013), Future Fellowships will offer
four-year Fellowships of up to $140,000 a year to 1,000 Australian and
international top researchers in the middle of their career. In
addition, each researcher's administering organisation will receive
funding of up to $50,000 per year to support related infrastructure,
equipment, travel and relocation costs.
Details of the visit are: 10am, 11th June 2008, Eastern Avenue Lecture
Theatre, map reference K19 in the link below.
http://db.auth.usyd.edu.au/directories/map/largemap00a.html
Please note that the Eastern Avenue Lecture Theatre is upstairs from the
Eastern Avenue Auditorium. Wheelchair access is available.
RSVP to Christine Anderson at canderson@usyd.edu.au or on 02 9351 4469.
Responses to the Consultation Paper should be submitted electronically
to the ARC on the proforma available on the ARC's web site
(www.arc.gov.au) by cob Friday 27th June 2008.
Further information about the Future Fellowships Scheme is available on

The National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia (NBCF)- Research Grant Program: Phase 1 (Think Tanks) 2008
Introduction: NBCF believes we need to be responsive to breast cancer research progress and opportunities nationally and internationally and maximise our use of limited resources. The first step in the process will involve funding of think-tanks to bring together groups of investigators, recognised experts in their respective fields, with complementary abilities to formulate convincing plans for specific, collaborative projects, to allocate research roles and tasks, and to identify necessary resources. Applications are invited from collaborative groups of interdisciplinary investigators, to convene a workshop with the scope to further develop a significant larger-scale and/or cutting-edge national research program. The NBCF's expectation is that a group would consist of 3 - 6 investigators.
Eligibility: The Administering Institution/Organisation and the Chief Investigator(s) will jointly make an application. Collaborating institutions must be clearly identified in the application.
Amount Awarded: The NBCF will provide funding for several think tanks, up to a maximum value of $15,000 each, to support travel and venue costs.
Indirect Cost Recovery: This scheme is exempt from University of Sydney indirect costs.
