Date: 21 May 2026 The ARC will run 2 additional rounds of existing schemes in 2026: Future Fellowships 2027 (FT27) Industrial Transformation Research Program 2027 (IC27 and IH27). Further details on these schemes, including Grant Opportunity Guidelines and documentation, will be provided in due course. The NCGP Scheme Calendar remains the authoritative source for indicative scheme timings and has been updated to reflect this announcement. In response to sector feedback, announcement timeframes have been reduced to a 2-week timeframe for most outcomes for individual schemes. The ARC will work to announce outcomes as early as possible within these timeframes. Due diligence and research security screening processes may extend finalisation of outcomes for some applications. The ARC will engage early with the research sector on changes to delivery timeframes. Where changes to the NCGP Scheme Calendar are required, the ARC will provide notice as early as possible.
