      1. Linkage Program: Industrial Transformation Research Program processes
The Linkage Program is designed to achieve the Australian Government's objectives for research and innovation.
This grant program contributes to the ARC's Outcome 1, which is to grow knowledge and innovation through managing research grants, measuring research excellence and providing advice.
The following process flowchart applies to the Industrial Transformation Research Hubs (Research Hubs) and Industrial Transformation Training Centres (Training Centres) grant opportunities.

The grant opportunity opens.
We (the ARC) publish the grant guidelines and advertise on GrantConnect.

  
We manage the assessment of all applications.
We manage the assessment of applications against eligibility criteria and assessment criteria including an overall consideration of value for money.
Your application will be assigned to Detailed Assessors to undertake in-depth assessments. You will have an opportunity to respond to Detailed Assessors' written comments through a rejoinder. Applications may be provided to the relevant Industry Growth Centre to provide comments which may be considered by Selection Advisory Committee (SAC) members.
SAC members will then assess Your application, consider the Detailed Assessors' ratings and comments and Your rejoinder and assign a final score.
  
We make grant recommendations.
The SAC will collectively consider all applications and recommend to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) the applications to be funded, and the level and duration of funding for each project.
The CEO will recommend to the Minister the applications to be funded, and the level and duration of funding for each grant.
In making recommendations to the Minister the CEO will consider the applicant's response to the National Interest Test.

The CEO will make grant recommendations to the Minister that satisfy the National Interest Test and which are eligible for funding. The CEO may take into account any
