The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Nutritional Dynamics: from Genes to Individuals to Ecosystems. Understanding how ecosystems function from the perspective of nutritional interactions between individual organisms will contribute to an environmentally sustainable Australia, with particular benefits to rural communities in arid/semi-arid regions. Research on human and animal nutrition, obesity and ageing will provide essential knowledge for promoting and maintaining good health and designing novel treatments for metabolic disorder ....Nutritional Dynamics: from Genes to Individuals to Ecosystems. Understanding how ecosystems function from the perspective of nutritional interactions between individual organisms will contribute to an environmentally sustainable Australia, with particular benefits to rural communities in arid/semi-arid regions. Research on human and animal nutrition, obesity and ageing will provide essential knowledge for promoting and maintaining good health and designing novel treatments for metabolic disorders. New ways of controlling locusts and other pest insects will arise and contribute to safeguarding Australia. New diet optimisation technologies will help transform Australian food production industries. The project will foster creative, innovative science that spans molecular biology to ecosystem dynamics.Read moreRead less

Summary
The electro-photonic interchange: a new green platform for communications signal processing. This project will deliver the science for a new generation of green optical networks, by identifying optimum combinations of electronic and photonic signal processing to solve fundamental data bottlenecks. This project will implement these technologies in powerful electro-photonic chips, upon which superior energy-efficient internet switches can be built.

Summary
Using biological invasions to understand evolutionary processes. The invasion of cane toads through Australia has been devastating for many native species, but created opportunities for others. The rapid evolutionary responses stimulated by toad invasion provide a uniquely powerful model system with which to explore the broader question of how species adapt to novel challenges.

Summary
Consensus, estimation and control in complex large-scale quantum systems. Australia has considerable strengths in quantum technology research and as these technologies advance, the issue of control becomes a critical one. This project will strengthen Australia's position in quantum technology by developing new methodologies for designing high performance controllers and estimators for complex quantum systems.

Summary
New approaches for pest control and maintaining healthy environments under climate change. Natural environments are rapidly changing due to climate and human population pressure, affecting food supply and natural heritage. Insects and other invertebrates perform essential services like pollination, pest control and soil turnover, and provide food for wildlife. These services are under threat, and ways of maintaining them and protecting biodiversity need to be developed.

Natural environments are rapidly changing due to climate and human population pressure, affecting food supply and natural heritage. Insects and other invertebrates perform essential services like pollination, pest control and soil turnover, and provide food for wildlife. These services are under threat, and ways of maintaining them and protecting biodiversity need to be developed. This project will identify the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms that insects use to deal with environmental changes and the processes that promote evolutionary resilience to safeguard environmental services. This should lead to guidelines for sustainable agricultural production and biodiversity protection in threatened environments like the Australian Alps.Read moreRead less

Summary
Large-scale statistical machine learning. This research program aims to develop the science behind statistical decision problems as varied as web retrieval, genomic data analysis and financial portfolio optimisation. Advances will have a very significant practical impact in the many areas of science and technology that need to make sense of large, complex data streams.

Summary
Biological adaptation under natural and anthropogenic conditions. This project covers all four national priority areas. Nature abounds with conflicts between what is good for the individual or a larger entity (a population, a society, or a species). Researching them will explain why populations adapt or fail to adapt to novel conditions (e.g., climate change) and predict when interventions are beneficial. Similar rules govern the spread of invasive species. Even health problems, e.g., new virule ....Biological adaptation under natural and anthropogenic conditions. This project covers all four national priority areas. Nature abounds with conflicts between what is good for the individual or a larger entity (a population, a society, or a species). Researching them will explain why populations adapt or fail to adapt to novel conditions (e.g., climate change) and predict when interventions are beneficial. Similar rules govern the spread of invasive species. Even health problems, e.g., new virulent strains of human, animal or plant diseases, require such evolutionary thinking. Cutting-edge mathematical tools also prepare Australians for an era in the near future where genomic data are so cheap to acquire that training in complex mathematical and logical analysis becomes a factor limiting scientific progress.Read moreRead less
