Top tips

  • Start thinking about getting bids together 12 to 18 months in advance.
  • The ARC wants large, integrated research hubs, not a collection of smaller projects.
  • For training centres, focus on the future needs of your chosen industry.
  • Get familiar with Industry Growth Centres—you should be in touch with one while applying.
