SR140200003,James Cook University,Dr Daniel Schofield,"Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine. AITHM intends to build Australian research capacity in tropical health and biomedical sciences, to improve national capacity to identify risks to health security and biosecurity from re-emerging infectious diseases prevalent in tropical countries, and to undertake research which targets improvements in health outcomes and service delivery for regional, remote, and under-served communities in tropical Australia. This requires expansion of tropically based research facilities, the researcher skill base, and research programs.",40797386.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/SR140200003,SR140200003 — James Cook University
SR140100001,Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australia,Mr Michael Wilson,"The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australian Type 1 Diabetes Research Network and Program. This Proposal continues the development of the initial Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Research Network (CRN), launched by JDRF in June 2011 with a $5m grant from the Australian Government. 
The principal goal of the CRN is to positively impact the life of people with T1D in Australia through the support and promotion of clinical research. A further electoral commitment of $35m over 5 years will enable further progress towards finding a cure for T1D, including delivering better and faster access to new therapies and treatments that can help prevent and manage the disease.

SR140300001,University of Tasmania,Prof Richard Coleman,"Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research. This multidisciplinary proposal has four integrated research themes which enhance existing Antarctic research. The proposal will build new polar research capability in Tasmania to secure and reinforce its recognition as a global leader in Antarctic and Southern Ocean science; develop a marine technology hub; leverage co-investment with national and overseas agencies; and further establish Tasmania as a gateway for Antarctic research, education, innovation and logistics. The initiative will bolster Australia's Antarctic program via integration of novel understanding of ice-shelf and ice sheet contributions to present-day sea level change, and new perspectives on polar marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, and sea-ice forecasting.",33291335.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/SR140300001,SR140300001 — University of Tasmania
CE140100020,James Cook University,Prof Graeme Cumming,"ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrated Coral Reef Studies. The overarching aim of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrated Coral Reef Studies is to provide the scientific knowledge necessary for sustaining ecosystem goods and services of the worlds coral reefs, which support the livelihoods and food security of millions of people in the tropics. The Centre will enhance Australia's global leadership in coral reef science through three ambitious research programs addressing the future of coral reefs and their ability to adapt to change. A key outcome of the research will be providing tangible benefits to all Australians by building bridges between the natural and social sciences, strengthening capacity, and informing and supporting transformative changes in coral reef governance and management.",30343979.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/CE140100020,CE140100020 — James Cook University
CE140100011,Monash University,Prof James Whisstock,"ARC Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging. The Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging will innovatively integrate physics, chemistry and biology to unravel the complex molecular interactions that define immunity. The Centre will develop new imaging methods to visualize atomic, molecular and cellular details of how immune proteins interact and
effect immune responses. Outcomes: (i) new technological innovations leading to new imaging methods and products; and (ii) fundamental advances in understanding details of immune responses in health and disease. The Centre will enable Australia to be an international leader in biological imaging, to train next
generation interdisciplinary scientists, and to provide new insights for combating common diseases that afflict society.",30343975.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/CE140100011,CE140100011 — Monash University
CE140100041,The Australian National University,Prof Nicholas Evans,"ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language. Language is central to human existence and to the flow of information. The Centre will address the most critical questions about language: How do languages evolve? How different can languages be? How do our brains acquire and process them? How can technologies deal with the complexity and enormous variability of language in its central role in human information processing? What can Australia do to increase its linguistic abilities at a time of increasingly multilingual demands in trade and information? The Centre will also secure language heritage, develop new language technologies, connect policy with indigenous and migrant communities, and build strategies to help 1st and 2nd language learning and those isolated by language difficulties.",30339235.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/CE140100041,CE140100041 — The Australian National University
CE140100008,The University of Western Australia,Prof Andrew Millar,"ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology. We propose a novel approach to improve sustainable yield by optimising the overall efficiency of energy capture, conversion and use by plants. Efficiency gains in metabolism, transport, and development will be more effective than optimising single nutrient inputs or product outputs. Improving multiple parameters simultaneously is a necessary solution to the increasing demand for more crop yield from finite land, water, and nutrient resources. Unpredictable environmental challenges adversely affect plant growth and further perturb plant energy balance, limiting yield. The epigenetic controls, gene variants and signals discovered will provide a new basis for sustainable productivity of crops and will future-proof plants in changing climates.",28176550.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/CE140100008,CE140100008 — The University of Western Australia
