New scheme calendar for 2024/25 coming soon

The Australian Research Council (ARC) is consulting with DVCRs and Research Offices this week about developing a new best practice Scheme Calendar for 2024/25 following recent changes to the ARC’s enabling legislation. 

The ARC understands the importance of the Scheme Calendar for future planning of workflows for applicants and research administrators. The new scheme calendar will be published in the coming weeks.

As a result of the changes, Linkage Project application submissions for 2024 Round 2 will be rescheduled.

Linkage Projects applications for 2024 Round 2  

We would like to reassure applicants who have drafted applications in RMS, not submitted for Round 1, that they will retain read-only access. Draft applications will roll-over as live applications when the Round 2 application process opens in RMS.
