will be the Project Leader. The Project Leader must have a demonstrated capacity to manage the project.

What are the limits on the number of applications and projects per named participant?
4.18.              These limits only apply to CIs.
4.19.              The limits are designed to ensure that named participants have the capacity to undertake each project.
4.20.              A named participant can be concurrently funded through the Discovery Program for a maximum of:
          1. two projects as a CI; or
         b.              one ARC Fellowship and one project as a CI; or
         c.              one ARC Fellowship or project if the individual is also a Director on an active ARC Centre of Excellence and/or a Special Research Initiative project.
4.21.              At the closing dates for Discovery Projects EOI and full applications, We will count:
          1. the number of Discovery Program CI roles or ARC Fellowships that the individual will hold on active projects on the grant opportunity's active project assessment date;
         b.              whether the named participant will hold an ARC Centres of Excellence and/or Special Research Initiatives Director role on active projects on the grant opportunity's active project assessment date;
         c.              the number of Discovery Projects EOI or full applications We are currently assessing which include that named participant as a CI; and
         d.              the number of Discovery Indigenous applications We are currently assessing which include that named participant as a CI.
4.22.              Applications for Australian Laureate Fellowships, Future Fellowships, DECRA, ARC Centres of Excellence or Special Research Initiatives do not need to meet the project limit requirements at the grant opportunity closing date. If an Australian Laureate Fellowships, Future Fellowships, ARC Centres of Excellence or Special Research Initiatives application is successful, named participants must meet the project limits under section 4.19 before the project can start. Project limits can be met by relinquishing existing active project(s), or relinquishing role(s) on existing active projects, or withdrawing application(s) that would exceed the project limits. This does not need to occur until all outcomes are announced.
4.23.              If a role or Project must be relinquished to meet the limits at the grant opportunity closing date for a Discovery Projects application (EOI or full), We must approve the Variation before the grant opportunity closing date. Any relinquishment Variation submitted or approved after the grant opportunity closing date will not be taken into account when counting the number of projects under section 4.19.
4.24.              It is Your responsibility to determine if applying for, or holding, a project under these grant guidelines will affect an individual researcher's eligibility for other ARC grant opportunities as other ARC grant opportunities may have different project limits. We reserve the right to change project and application limits in future grant opportunities.
