Australian Research Council (ARC)

The ARC has finalised its NCGP Policy Review, resulting in a strategic shift that will dismantle the existing Discovery and Linkage programmes. Beginning in 2027, the ARC will phase in seven new streamlined schemes.

Official scheme guidelines and UNE-specific processes are currently in development. The Grants team will share detailed guidance and institutional deadlines via our Research Services mailing list as new information is released. Please ensure you are subscribed to receive these updates.

Please see the ARC NCGP Policy Review Final Report for a detailed overview of the changes.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
