Changes to ARC ITRP Hubs and Centres

Please note that the ARC have made several changes to the application for the ITRP Hubs and Training Centres application for the 2018 round. Changes of note include:

• ROPEs assessment will be limited to 5 key personnel 
• The structure/questions within the ROPEs section has changed
• The page limit for the project description has increased from 10 to 15 pages
• The subheadings within the project description have changed to incorporate information removed from other sections of the application.  

Please note: Although full ROPEs sections will only be required for the 5 key personnel, you will still need to obtain information on participants’ expertise and experience as it pertains to relevant industry or end-user focussed research for inclusion in the project description. 

Key personnel intending to re-purpose ROPEs sections from other proposals will need to allow additional time to re-format this information to meet the new requirements. A small plus is that this new format is expected to be replicated through the other ARC grants for 2018/2019.

Please refer to the attached Instructions to Applicants documents (HERE and HERE) for further information.
