ARC Survey

[Simon Haberle]

Dear All,

Now that the dust has settled after the announcement of the latest ARC
Discovery and Linkage grants it may be helpful to bring together a rough
guide to how Quaternarists fared in the process. Also this is in
response to some concern and uncertainty expressed about the new process
of assigning applications to specific assessment panels. I've listed 3
questions for those who submitted applications to answer (return answers
to my email address only). I will then collate the answers and provide a
summary to the AQUA list members. I hope that by bringing this
information together it might provide to those considering applying to
ARC in the future a guide to better targeting their proposals and
improving chances of success. Names/affiliations of applicants will be
kept confidential.

Cheers, Simon
