I hope that the consultation process encourages the @arc-gov-au.bsky.social to allow an additional attempt for ECRs that used the final round of the DECRA as their 2nd attempt rather than waiting. Like many others, I was encouraged to apply in case the proposed schemes were no longer suitable.

The ARC’s intent is that recipients of current or previous grants who have met limits on the number of grants that an individual can hold should not be eligible for schemes designed to fulfil a comparable purpose. Similarly, the ARC intends to retain limits on application attempts for the Initiate scheme and transfer previous attempts from the Discovery Early-Career Researcher Award (DECRA), potentially allowing one extra attempt to ensure that applicants previously unsuccessful in DECRA have another opportunity in the new NCGP. During implementation, the ARC will ensure that all new schemes include these criteria where applicable and consider whether attempt limits are appropriate for other schemes.

The ARC has released their new set of grant schemes ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/news-and-pub... Before implementing them, they’re now going to “consult with the sector”. Hopefully genuinely, not just with a few disengaged DVCRs. In the meantime, there’ll be another round of Discovery Projects (DP28).

Great to see something written about this by an actual teenager. And this 15yo makes so many good points. Including, "If tech companies have the capability to delete accounts for people under the age of 16, they also have the capability to delete accounts that bully, harass or cause harm."

A whole lot of not thinking things through with this policy. Pretty much assumes everyone is a middle-upper class white, straight teenager with no issues living in a city www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Really proud to have been a part of this absolutely massive study led by @meganpcook.bsky.social and glad to see it up online in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social . We found that despite men drinking more and experiencing more harm, there are more single-gender studies on women.

Thrilled to have our systematic review of the differences in the way women and men have been studied in alcohol research over the past decade up online at IJDP - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....
