Oh man. I hate the way the lack of comms from the ARC has me consulting tea leaves trying to detect what’s to come!

The ARC’s commitment to provide zero comms on anything (remember the last LP round release-dates chaos?) is probably its most dependable achievement.

Dumb question, but does that have any impact on schedule LP announcements for end Sept-early Oct? I’m not clear on how ARC recs made to senate connect to pending grants….

So it really is the end of the Future Fellowship… wonder if laureates will go too?

I saw your name and I’m so happy for you 😊

My pleasure! You do such a service for all us anxious academics

Could have said all this a month ago!

We should all refuse to assess ARC grant applications until they sort this out or at least communicate properly with us. It’s so embarrassing to try to explain to industry partners

WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Plus it’s embarrassing for us as researchers - we expended social capital convincing partners to join the project, and then we are implicated over ARC silence

In what other industry would this be acceptable? Academics are one of the ARC’s key stakeholders (if not their primary stakeholder) but their treatment borders on contempt.
