This information is for anyone
involved in developing proposals for Industrial Transformation Research Hubs
(ITRH 2015) or Industrial Transformation Training Centres (ITTC 2016).
Please be aware that the ARC has updated the FrequentlyAsked Questions attached here for schemes under the Linkage Programme.
The updated document includes one additional FAQ which is
relevant for ITRH and ITTC applications.
6.15
The Selection Criteria for Hubs and Training Centres includes ‘Does the
Research Hub/Training Centre demonstrate meaningful engagement with the
relevant Industry Growth Centre(s)’. How do I address this criteria in my
proposal?
The
Industry Growth Centres Initiative as described on the business.gov.au website is
the centrepiece of the Government's new industry policy direction and part of
the Industry Innovation and Competitiveness Agenda. These Growth Centres have
been established to deliver the Initiatives in high-growth sectors within the
Industry and Science Portfolio.
To
address the Industry Growth Centre selection criteria, in the Project
Description part of IH15 and IC16 proposals applicants should identify the
appropriate Growth Centre(s) that aligns with the chosen Industrial
Transformation Priority(s) for the ITRP project. Applicants should demonstrate
that they have engaged with the Centre(s) contact(s) and how this could benefit
their IH15 or IC16 project, and assist to drive growth, productivity and
competitiveness within key growth sectors.
As you will be aware, proposals for ITRH or ITTC funding may
only be submitted where the research addresses one or more of the Industrial
Transformation Priorities for the current round, namely:
- Advanced Manufacturing
- Food and Agribusiness
- Oil, Gas and Energy
Resources
- Mining Equipment,
Technology and Services
- Medical Technologies and
Pharmaceuticals.
You may also be aware that the Australian Government is
funding Industry Growth Centres in each of these areas.
As noted in FAQ 6.15, applicants
must demonstrate that they have engaged with the relevant Growth Centre
that aligns with the Industrial Transformation Priority chosen for the ITRH or
ITTC proposal.
For your information, contact details for each of the Growth
Centres can be found through these links:
- Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre
- Food and Agribusiness Growth Centre
- Medical Technologies and Pharmaceuticals Growth Centre
- Mining Equipment Technology and Services Growth Centre
- Oil Gas and Energy Resources Growth Centre
