Equipment and Facilities Program (LIEF) proposals

Equipment and Facilities Program (LIEF) proposals

ANU Linkage Pilot Project Fund
The ANU
Linkage Pilot Project Fund seeks to identify ANU
researchers who are able to demonstrate a potentially viable pilot project
involving one or more industry partners which can then be developed to
apply for ARC Linkage Project funding within the next year. Mentoring
support will be available, both for the researchers and their local area
administrators, to ensure that the budding applications have the greatest
internal support possible for success with the ARC.

Publication Subsidies
The Vice-Chancellor allocates funds for Publication
Subsidies to assist the commercial publication of the results of academic
research of staff members or students of the University that are unable
(or unlikely to be able) to be published by an independent commercial
publisher without financial assistance. Applications are called for once
a year and the maximum amount for any one subsidy is usually $2,500. Each
subsidy is discrete and no long standing commitment will be made towards
the costs of ongoing publications such as journals or other series. In
practice this has meant that subsidies are granted for books but not for
journals, and certainly not for journal articles. Translations of works
into or from English are unlikely to be supported unless they are of exceptional
literary or scholarly merit. In some circumstances, subsidies may be granted
for publication of non-print media, eg. CD Rom. Internally produced monographs
or collections of seminar papers are not eligible for assistance.

2007, 2008 and 2009 to support travel by recently appointed and/or junior
staff to further their ANU careers. Applications are invited from both
academic and general staff. The purpose of the program is to provide recently
appointed and/or junior staff with a significant career development opportunity
through enabling:
- academic staff to visit colleagues, enhance their academic profile
and develop research and educational partnerships
- general staff to broaden their experience of higher education management
through exposure to other systems.
