EMCR Forum Submission—Policy Review of the National Competitive Grants Program
On 14 April 2025, the EMCR Forum made a submission to the ARC on the Policy Review of the National Competitive Grants Program.
The EMCR Forum recommends:
- That the ARC undertake further consultation with EMCRs in developing a framework and implementation plan that articulates how EMCRs will navigate and transition through the new schemes throughout their careers.
- The ARC define career stages clearly and incorporate these definitions into the modelling and evaluation of the new scheme to assess impact on researchers at different career stages. This includes acknowledging the different goals and challenges faced by three cohorts of EMCRs.
