A DMer reports that the ARC have said Linkage Projects and Laureate Fellowships outcomes won't be announced this week. Nor is it likely that even a schedule for those announcements will be published this week. What on earth is going on there??

ARC Tracker@arc-tracker.bsky.social · last yr.

There's now 2 schemes for which the announcements are late: Linkage Projects & Laureate Fellowships. Despite knowing this might happen more than a month ago, ARC still haven't got a new timeline! The outcomes will have been determined, and only require ARC Board sign-off (not the Minister).

Update: ARC just sent this email to applicants confirming that all previously-entered career interruption info is gone. Has to be re-entered. This can only be entered by each individual CI & PI. Such an ARC response. "Gotta problem? Shoulda thought-a that when you entered info in da first place!"

Excited to share that next week I’ll be the new Associate Dean Graduate Research at Monash Pharmacy&Pharm Sci. Looking forward to leading efforts to best support our future research leaders

Been looking at these ARC changes. If they go through - as early as next year - I assume this means DE26 & FT26 will be the last time these schemes run. If that's the case - big decision for people putting in this yr, that's a lot of work for only one chance at the schemes (rather than the usual 3)

The ARC Board has proposed a major shake-up of the National Competitive Grants Program ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/engage-us/co... I've only skimmed so far, but they propose reducing 13 grant schemes to 6, with intent & scope in the table👇 Submissions are being accepted in response until 13 April. Get to it!

I’m super excited for the preliminary program, mark your calendars and start planning what you’ll share with the global Pharmacology community in Melbourne 2026 @wcp2026.bsky.social
