澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 , and congratulated all the successful 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 researchers, and the professional staff who helped achieve these outstanding results for 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 research.
“澳门管家婆三肖三码必开's top billing for total funding reflects on our researchers' proven potential to deliver tremendous returns on investments made in people and infrastructure,” Professor H酶j said.
“The new ARC funding will enable 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 to continue turning raw research power into fantastic outcomes for society, the environment and the economy.
“These will be the true measures of research success – the positive impacts that will be felt through areas ranging from Indigenous housing, to sustainable energy sources and prevention of common infections.”
Professor Lu said it had been “a great year for 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 research”, following a series of successes, including increased health and medical research funding, important philanthropic donations, new industry partnerships and significant commercialisation deals.
“This new ARC funding will enable 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 researchers to build on this momentum, and – very importantly – will help Australia and Queensland retain and attract outstanding researchers.
“It is money well-directed, an excellent investment in our global future,” Professor Lu said.
in the School of Mathematics and Physics was awarded 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开's highest individual Discovery Project grant: $1.06 million over three years.
Professor Meredith's award included a prestigious Level 3 Discovery Outstanding Researcher Award (DORA), for his research proposal that ultimately seeks to create a simple and generic transducing element for cellular-level electrical communication.
(Institute of Social Science Research) and (Queensland Brain Institute) were 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开's other successful DORA applicants.
Of 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开's 30 DECRAs, awards went to:

Through the Future Fellowships scheme, two international researchers have been attracted to Australia and 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开:
- Dr Philip Stevenson seeks to establish a basis for preventing herpes virus infection in humans. Herpes infects almost everyone, persists lifelong and causes much disease, which can be avoided if initial infection can be avoided. He comes from the University of Cambridge to 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开's School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences.
- Dr David Evans will seek to identify genes and biological pathways which predispose individuals to ankylosing spondylitis, a devastating type of auto-immune arthritis, using a new statistical framework. He is currently at the University of Bristol and will return to 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开, where he completed his BSc, Honours, and PhD, to work at the 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 Diamantina Institute.
In the Discovery Indigenous scheme, a team led by 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 researcher was awarded research funding and a Discovery Indigenous Award.
Ms Go-Sam's project aims to bring improved housing management, housing design, health and well-being in Indigenous communities and a reduction in crowding and homelessness.
