ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra).
My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately.
ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

So proud of Dr. Kristina Adams Waldorf for her powerful Op-Ed in The Seattle Times highlighting an overlooked truth: men get breast cancer too. Awareness & advocacy are critical. Please read & share! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/brea...
