Round Eleven of the CRC Projects programme was announced Friday, which ended a bit of wait for applicants, who submitted in March and expected to hear mid-year

There are 22 projects funded, way more the nine in Round Ten.

CRC Ps (three years max), get not much money to combine industry, university and public sector researchers to “develop a product, service or process that will solve problems for industry and deliver real outcomes.

In Features this morning CRC veteran, Tony Peacock analyses the round and suggests the model can deliver more; “if the Government sees R&D needs coming out of the banking or aged care royal commissions, or from issues in the NDIS or other portfolios, throwing resources to the CRC-P, makes a lot of sense.”
