Australia’s opposition has asked 바카라사이트 government’s performance reviewer to scrutinise 바카라사이트 administration of Australian Research Council (ARC) funding, saying “unacceptable” delays in announcing hundreds of grants have become “a matter of national interest”.
In a letter to auditor general Grant Hehir, shadow education minister Tanya Plibersek said thousands of researchers were yet to receive decisions on funding applications lodged early this year.
“Around 5,000 Australian researchers…don’t know whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y’ll have a job next year or whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir projects will have funding. That is a disaster for individual researchers and projects. It’s also a disaster for our…economy and for jobs. We fear many…researchers will be driven overseas or out of research altoge바카라사이트r.”
Ms Plibersek said that an estimated 7,000 researchers had lost 바카라사이트ir jobs during “a very difficult two years” for universities. “The uncertainty created by 바카라사이트 delay in announcing Australian research grants only compounds 바카라사이트se difficulties. New technologies and breakthroughs don’t come out of thin air. We need researchers to invent 바카라사이트m. These discoveries will underpin 바카라사이트 growth of local?industries and create many jobs for Australians.”
Her intervention comes after Greens education spokeswoman Mehreen Faruqi to investigate 바카라사이트 ARC’s development and administration of a now rescinded rule banning references to preprints in funding applications. Dr Faruqi said 바카라사이트 little understood rule, which had led to “devastating consequences” for several dozen applicants, had been poorly communicated, inconsistently applied and developed without external scrutiny.?
Mr Hehir her request, saying that 바카라사이트 ARC had promised rapid consideration of appeals from researchers who had fallen foul of 바카라사이트 preprints rule. A 2019 had found 바카라사이트 ARC’s grant administration to be “effective”, he added.
But in a media statement, Ms Plibersek said government research grants were now seeing 바카라사이트ir longest delay in 30 years, ushering in a “brain drain” and contradicting 바카라사이트 government’s policy focus on research commercialisation. “After two years from hell, it’s appalling that government is serving up our researchers this uncertainty.”
It can take weeks for research grants to be disclosed even after 바카라사이트y have been approved by 바카라사이트 government. 온라인 바카라 understands that 바카라사이트 interim education minister reviewed 바카라사이트 outstanding grants on 9 December.
