Ensuring Australia’s research ecosystem is as strong as possible is foundational for Australia’s future prosperity. The National Competitive Grants Program, as the largest funder of non-medical fundamental research, is a core component of this ecosystem.
ATSE’s submission makes 6 recommendations about using the NCGP to support research in Australia. ATSE argues for using the NCGP to champion underinvested in types of research, including fundamental, Interdisciplinary, null result and replication research. It calls for research funding to be moved towards 3% of GDP and calls for funding the full cost of research.
