1 Overview
The Australian Research Council’s infrastructure fund has existed continuously for more than ten years. The ARC currently funds infrastructure through the Linkage‑Infrastructure Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) Program, which is part of the National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP). LIEF commenced in 2001, replacing the Research Infrastructure Equipment and Facilities (RIEF) Scheme.
LIEF provides funding to institutions for research infrastructure that will be used to support high quality research projects. The Program is managed on an annual basis and funding is normally provided for one year only. Applications for LIEF are submitted through the ARC’s Grant Administration and Management System (GAMS).
