5.1 Level of funding
The minimum grant size is $20,000 per annum and the maximum is $500,000 per annum. The ARC reserves the right to determine the level of funding allocated to the project.
The ARC will award very few grants at the higher end of the funding spectrum and these will normally be awarded only for an application that involves a collaborating team of outstanding investigators.
Applicants seeking a Fellowship under Discovery—Projects should include a request for a salary component in the budget (see Appendix for 2002 salaries)
