LE0882854,The Australian National University,Em/Prof Richard Arculus,"Australian Membership of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. Membership of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) will provide high-leverage access to the largest, and most effective international geoscience program. 
Results from drilling within Australia's marine jurisdiction will give understanding of the oceans' state under past climates through high resolution records of the range of oceanographic and biological responses to climate change, the role of the deep biosphere in shaping oil and gas deposits, hydrothermal and igneous processes involved in ore genesis, and enhanced understanding of some of the world's largest earthquake- and tsunami-generating processes.

LP0882016,The University of Queensland,Prof Zhiguo Yuan,"Optimal management of corrosion and odour problems in sewer systems. Pollutants in wastewater undergo complex changes in sewers, leading to the production and release of odorous and corrosive compounds. Despite major efforts and expenditure by water utilities to mitigate these problems, odorous emissions from sewers are still commonly occurring in urban areas. Furthermore, the value of public assets is significantly diminished due to sewer corrosion, costing hundreds of millions of dollars a year in Australia alone. This project is a major joint effort by the Australian water industry and world-leading scientists to generate advanced knowledge and develop effective technologies for optimal odour and corrosion management in sewers, delivering large social, environmental and economic benefits.",4901791.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/LP0882016,LP0882016 — The University of Queensland
FF0883221,James Cook University,Prof Michael Bird,"Environmental change, carbon cycling and human impact in tropical Australia. This fellowhip will provide the fundamental science outputs required to understand the complex linkages between terrestrial ecosystems, environmental change and human impact in the tropics - in Australia and globally - thereby assisting in 
(i)  predicting the response of tropical ecosystems to future environmental change and respond to the impacts of tropical climate variability 
(ii) developing and validating methodologies for improved carbon sequestration, verifiable carbon accounting and emissions trading
(iii) achieving sustainability in the utilization of the natural resource base of tropical Australia by optimizing the balance between wealth creation and environmental impact

FF0883188,Curtin University,Prof Dr Petrus Teunissen,"Theoretical and Model Strengthening of Future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to Yield Improved Geospatial Information for Tomorrow's Society. Australia is a significant user of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) because of its utility and for scientific applications (e.g., Earth-, atmospheric- and space-science).  The national benefit of improved integer-estimation and model strengthening of integrated GNSSs is twofold: 1. all future scientific GNSS studies will rest on more reliable positioning and related solutions, and 2. the refinements to these high-precision and high-integrity scientific GNSS applications will feed into much-improved geospatial information for tomorrow's society.

DP0881385,The University of New South Wales,Prof Liangchi Zhang,"An innovative manufacturing technology enabling new generations of hip joint prostheses. The success of the present project will revolutionise the way we produce hip joint prostheses, resolve the critical issues caused by the wear of the hip joint bearing surfaces, and dramatically improve patients' life quality. The project will open an entirely new application field for the Australian made materials which have a very limited market so far. With the innovative technology and the new generations of hip joint prostheses, the international competitive edge of the Australian industry will be markedly sharpened. Patients, and the Australian economy, are expected to benefit greatly from successful developments in this project.",2074711.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/DP0881385,DP0881385 — The University of New South Wales
FF0883217,The Australian National University,Prof Michael Eastwood,"Conformal Differential Geometry. Differential geometry is a major branch of mathematics studying shape by using calculus and differential equations. This is a fundamental research project in this area, especially concerned with the interaction between geometry, differential equations, and symmetry. The mathematical notion of symmetry was already formalised early last century and nowadays lies at the very heart of mathematics and physics. Advances in this area provide essential tools in basic science and unexpected technological benefits can easily arise (for example, in medical imaging). Fundamental mathematical research is absolutely necessary if Australia is to maintain a presence on the international scientific stage.",1776076.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/FF0883217,FF0883217 — The Australian National University
DP0877360,The University of Melbourne,Prof Frank Caruso,"Engineering and Assembly of Bioinspired Nanostructured Materials. Scientific and technological advances at the frontiers of nano- and bio-technology are poised to revolutionise healthcare and medicine. This project will involve the design, synthesis and engineering of functional biopolymer building blocks. These 'smart' biopolymers will then be assembled into responsive, nanostructured materials for targeted drug delivery and biosensing applications. These materials are expected to ultimately have health benefits for Australian citizens and contribute to the development of a robust Australian nanobiotechnology industry. The project will also provide excellent opportunities for the development of outstanding young scientists and will foster exciting, multidisciplinary collaborations.",1771689.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/DP0877360,DP0877360 — The University of Melbourne
FF0883526,The University of New South Wales,Prof Michelle Simmons,"Atomic Electronics: Precompetitive Research for the Global Semiconductor Industry. The demonstration in Australia that electronic devices in silicon can be fabricated at the atomic-scale has provided a vision for global semiconductor manufacturers. By engaging with leading US companies to tackle the problems industry faces as it attempts to reach this scale, this Fellowship will ensure that Australia remains at the forefront of growing world-wide research into atomic-scale electronics.  Equally important, by anticipating the problems that electronic device manufacturers are currently facing, and will face over their long-term horizons, the proposed research seeks to provide Australia with a long-term opportunity to lift its involvement in the multi-trillion dollar global semiconductor industry.",1768076.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/FF0883526,FF0883526 — The University of New South Wales
FF0883522,The Australian National University,Prof John Dryzek,"Deliberative Global Governance. The worldwide movement building deliberative democracy should now address deliberative capacity in whole systems, not just micro innovations such as citizens' juries. This includes global systems such as that addressing climate change; substantial environmental benefits will result. A world populated by more effective democracies - especially in East Asia - is in Australia's national security interest. A century ago, Australia was a world leader in innovations such as the secret ballot and votes for women. Work on deliberative democracy can put Australia back in the forefront of democratic progress, with many associated social, political, and economic benefits.",1768076.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/FF0883522,FF0883522 — The Australian National University
