POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS FOLLOWING THE WORKSHOP
Invited speakers for this workshop


John Grundy, Pro Vice-Chancellor ICT Innovation & Translation and Professor of
Software Engineering at Deakin University
Dr Anne Brocklebank Proud Faculty Research Grants and Analysis Manager.
Abstract:
John Grundy discusses his experience of writing ARC grants in Australia over the past 6
years and more recently assessing ARC grants as a member of the ARC College of Experts
over the last 2 years. Giving his personal viewpoint, the focus is on the big picture e.g. - do
you have a good project /sufficiently strong track record/ are you targeting the right
scheme? In addition to as detailed suggestions around project description, budget, project
research environment.
Anne Brocklebank Proud gives an overall picture of ARC progress for SEBE and an overview
of the current Category 1 process at Deakin

SEBE Research Development Workshop Series
Workshop 1 2016
Question and answer session following presentations.
Q1 – If the project has CI members from multiple organisations, what is your advice re: dividing the
funding?
•
This is always a tricky one, good communication between team members is important and if
possible some prior discussion so all are in agreement.
Q2 – What if CI member/s are ECR’s?
•
If it is a strong application it may have a good chance of success. The ROPE will be taken into
account here so if there are any impacts on your outputs eg: children /illness /contracts /
senior admin roles, please articulate. Also make sure in the application that the role of all
personnel is made clear and that the job allocation is feasible.
Q3. – How developed should the project be when you apply?
•
This will depend to some extent on the discipline, if it is a totally new project then it must
have a track record that shows expertise. Giving some preliminary data or related data is OK
but beware that the project is not too advanced.
Q4. – If collaborating with a company – is the size of the company an important factor?
•
Not really but it’s important to show that the company is committed to the collaboration.
Big company projects are occasionally unconvincing if they appear to be only a consultancy
rather than a research relationship.
Q5. – What about overseas collaboration?
•
Team members overseas can be included and it is good to do so but the application must
clearly state what they will do, where and when.
Q6. –What about showing value for money – is cost a factor?
•
Showing value for money is important but if there is one factor that can bring down an
application its price trimming. The end result must be feasible for cost.
Q7. –So, for young staff – where is the start point?
•
•
•
•
A strong track record is important but this is something of a catch 22 situation for young
staff so initially join a strong team.
Linkage projects have more chance of success but are still very competitive so even if you
are a CI get a strong CI to work with you.
DECRA applications need to show a really strong track record, check the CVs of previous
winners to get some idea of what’s expected.
Future Fellows are awarded at 3 academic levels.
Level 1= academic level B and below:
Level 2 = level C:
Level 3 = academic level D and above.
The success rate is higher at the lower level. (John Grundy is happy to discuss this further
with anyone wishing to apply)
