For researchers who asked ARC for reviewer scores of their #DiscoveryProjects #DP23 applications:

ARC has told unis – not you, who applied for the info – they're aiming for end of Feb.👇

Yep, just a week before #DP24 apps are due.

📏The font wars have ended📏

↙️Gone are demands for 12 point everywhere, except sometimes, with threats of ineligibility.

↘️Now it's just got to be "readable"(?), with "recommended" font sizes.

Moving in the right direction, @[email protected]👍

Three vetoed research projects win funding on second attempt

Narrow line between success and failure in latest round of Australian competitive grant funding

Credit where credit's due.

@[email protected] got #DiscoveryProjects #DP23 done in just over 6 months.

Thanks to ARC staff for this. It matters! The earlier these are announced, the better for Australian research & researchers.

Hopefully this is sustainable for ARC staff & processes.

Depressing #discoveryproject #DP23 #grant outcomes announced today for maths — 27 projects funded; only 3 led by women. Not even 12%. These numbers seem to be getting worse. How does anyone think this is acceptable? Most of these teams have no women at all

Outcomes announced for the ARC Discovery Projects 2023. Apparently the smallest number of DPs funded since 2016. I count a total of 16 awarded in Language, Communication and Culture.

Research Management System - Scheme Round Statistics for Approved Applications - Discovery Projects 2023 round 1

RMS is the ARC’s Research Management System, a web-based system used by eligible researchers to prepare and submit research proposals and assessments under the ARC National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP).

Incredibly excited to have a #DP23 grant get funded with @dangolding, Benjamin Nicoll, Helen Stuckey, and John Banks.

Our project, “Artistic Practice in Australian Videogame Development” will do what the image says, which is way more articulate than anything I could try to write now.

No inflation, just pure $. So, even compared to 2018 of ($226m), this year's funding of $221m is lower by 10% in real terms.

#DP23 funding down on last year by 15% (no inflation).
