ARC Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) - EoI Process for LE17

Professor Ian Smith, Vice-Provost (Research and Research Infrastructure) has provided the following advice about the Expression of Interest (EoI) process for LE17:

The EoI for ARC LIEF grants has opened and in this context, we would like to both streamline the process for evaluating and endorsing the EoI's as well as trying to ensure requests for equipment align with the university/faculty strategic research priorities.

We would expect that the overall cash contribution from the university would total between 40% and 60% of the total request for funds and that this would likely comprise one third from the faculty, one third from the relevant School/Department and one third from Central. 

To secure this funding for Monash led bids, it is important that each funding group signs off on their commitment (thus confirming the strategic importance of the request) before any EoI can be lodged and importantly, before any potential partners are asked to support the application.

For non-led bids there needs to be signed approval by the lead Institution before sign off by the relevant School/Department and Faculty regardless of contributions.
