Project                                          an application approved by the ARC Accountable Authority to receive funding from the ARC.

Project activity period                          the period during which a project is receiving funding according to the original grant offer, or has any carryover funds approved by the ARC, or an approved variation to the project's end date. During this period, the project is known as an active project.

Project end date                                 the expected date that the project activity is completed and by which all grant funding will be spent.

Project Leader                                   means the named participant from the Administering Organisation who is the first-named CI on an application.

pure basic research                              basic research carried out for the advancement of knowledge, without seeking long-term economic or social benefits or making any effort to apply the results to practical problems or to transfer the results to sectors responsible for their application.

Research                                         for the purposes of these grant guidelines, the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies, inventions and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it is new and creative.

                                                 This definition of research is consistent with a broad notion of research and experimental development comprising "creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge – including knowledge of humankind, culture and society – and to devise new applications of available knowledge"

research end-user                                A person, community or organisation that stands to benefit from the outputs of research. In the context of the Linkage Program, end-users may include, but are not limited to, industry, government, communities, and not-for-profit organisations.

research infrastructure                          the assets, facilities, services, and coordinated access to major national and/or international research facilities or consortia which directly support research in higher education organisations and more broadly, and which maintain the capacity of researchers to undertake excellent research and deliver innovative outcomes.

Research Office                                  a business unit within an Eligible Organisation that is responsible for contact with the ARC regarding applications and projects.

Selection Advisory Committee (SAC)               a group of experts from academia and research end-users appointed to assist the ARC to assess applications and to provide a recommendation for funding to the ARC Accountable Authority. A SAC may be drawn from the ARC College of Experts.

selection process                                the method used to select potential grantees. This process may involve comparative assessment of applications or the assessment of applications against the eligibility criteria and/or the assessment criteria.
