ARC Future Fellowships

The objectives of the Future Fellowships scheme are to:

• Attract and retain outstanding mid-career researchers;
• Build collaboration across industry and/or research institutions and/or disciplines;
• Support research in national priorities across all disciplines that will result in economic, environmental, social, health and/or cultural benefits for Australia; and
• Strengthen Australia’s research capacity by supporting innovative, internationally competitive research.

Over a five-year period (2009 -2013), Future Fellowships will offer four-year fellowships to 1,000 mid-career researchers.

Future Fellowships are available to outstanding mid career researchers (5-15 years post PhD award, up to 22 years with eligible exemptions).

Future Fellowships for funding commencing in 2013 will be the final round for this scheme.  Candidates should familiarise themselves with the Funding Rules, Instructions to Applicants, and Frequently Asked Questions available at http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/future_default.htm.
