The Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Linkage-Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities scheme enhances institutional resources including associated indirect costs essential for mounting high-quality research projects in a particular field. The program supports major facilities and equipment. It does not support small items of equipment that can be applied for via the RIBG scheme. LIEF applications may seek non-capital aspects of library and information infrastructure.
LIEF has four objectives:
- encourage institutions to develop collaborative arrangements among themselves, across the higher education sector and with organisations outside the sector, in order to develop research infrastructure;
- support large-scale co-operative initiatives involving two or more institutions, thereby allowing expensive facilities to be shared;
- enhance support for areas of research strength; and
- ensure that researchers in fields of recognised research potential have access to the support necessary for development.
Applicants must complete the EOI and submit by the closing date:
