Applications involving other organisations
Applications involving organisations that are not higher education institutions, such as government research organisations and businesses, are also encouraged, provided that:
- at least one eligible higher education institution is involved in the application; and
- any funds allocated for equipment and/or facilities are used to build up infrastructure within the higher education sector.
If only one higher education institution is involved in an application, the application must be justified as a single university application. This applies both to applications submitted by only one university and no collaborating organisations, and applications that involve a number of industry or government partners but only one university partner.
Peak bodies representing the higher education community may act as catalysts in developing cooperative arrangements. In such cases, the peak body may apply on behalf of, and with the full written agreement of, the higher education institutions. Such applications must identify the mechanism for accountability and distribution of the funding between the eligible higher education institutions.
