ARC Research Hub for genetic diversity and molecular breeding for wheat in a hot and dry climate. This Research Hub, in partnership with wheat breeding companies, aims to deliver advanced technologies, germplasm and information to produce new stress tolerant varieties. Genetic diversity and novel traits will be introduced from exotic germplasm and high-throughput field-phenotyping tools will be developed to assist in selection of superior lines. Strategic research will be targeted towards the development of wheat with combined heat and drought tolerance and maintenance of high grain protein.",4541209.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/IH130200027,IH130200027 — The University of Adelaide IH130100008,Monash University,Prof Xinhua Wu,"ARC Research Hub for Transforming Australia’s Manufacturing Industry through High Value Additive Manufacturing. ARC Research Hub for Transforming Australia’s Manufacturing Industry through High Value Additive Manufacturing. A world class, globally-linked and industry-focussed Research Hub will be established to underpin the uptake of metal alloy based additive manufacturing (including three-dimensional printing) in Australia. Research will cover the issues that need to be resolved for success, including the effects of non-equilibrium solidification, process optimisation to achieve quality, consistency and repeatability, and new user-friendly design tools to realise the benefit of free-form manufacturing. Real components will be studied to give immediate impact. The Research Hub will also train highly skilled people needed for this growing industry.",4221805.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/IH130100008,IH130100008 — Monash University IH130200004,University of Tasmania,Prof David Cooke,"ARC Research Hub for transforming the mining value chain. ARC Research Hub for transforming the mining value chain. This Research Hub aims to transform the mining value chain to make significant improvements to industry practices through enhancing ore deposit discovery, mineral processing, and environmental management of ores and waste materials. The Hub will bring together a team of world-class researchers, industry partners and research facilities to develop end-user driven solutions to improve profitability and productivity in Australia’s mining industry.",4183997.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/IH130200004,IH130200004 — University of Tasmania IH130200031,The University of Newcastle,A/Prof Tom Honeyands,"ARC Research Hub for Advanced Technologies for Australian Iron Ore.
