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.

This Fellowship plans to study how transformative work design promotes meaningful, healthy, and productive work. The ‘what, how, where, when, and who’ of work is changing: the digital revolution is reconfiguring work processes more rapidly and on a much larger scale than ever before, and the demography of the workforce is profoundly shifting. Work design is a crucial but neglected strategy for optimising health, for unleashing employee talent, and for creating agile and effective organisations. Anticipated outcomes include a new theory on the future of work, a national longitudinal study on how work design fosters critical human development, field interventions, and evidence-based collaboratory activities.Read moreRead less

Summary
New stochastic models for Science, Economics, Social Science and Engineering. Stochastic, or random, phenomena abound in society. This project will combine advancement of the theory of stochastic models at a deep level with application to problems arising in science, economics, social science and engineering, and outreach to educate members of the public about random processes of significance in their lives.

This project will bring innovative science and Indigenous knowledge together to develop new understandings of the 60,000 year custodianship of Australian deserts. The archaeology will focus on the Ningaloo coast, Pilbara and Western Desert. This region is experiencing expansion in resource extraction, energy production and tourism, key to Australia's post-COVID recovery. This globally significant human record is poorly documented and at risk, as seen in the recent loss of Juukan Caves. The Desert People programme will work with Traditional Owners and use novel techniques to document places of the highest value for their management and protection. This will result in vastly improved planning outcomes and underwrite new regional economies. Read moreRead less

Learning how to tackle new challenges is more important today than ever before, yet learning is also becoming much more complicated. This project will investigate better ways of supporting people in learning what they need to learn. It will provide ways of analysing and improving the increasingly complex systems in which learning takes place, especially those where computer technology plays a strong role. This project will focus on networked learning - where people learn through collaboration that is wholly or partially online. It will explain how better tools and resources for networked learning can be designed, and how everyone can play a significant role in improving how, where and what they learn.Read moreRead less

Nothing is more necessary in human life than the air we breathe, mostly indoors where air quality has been relatively overlooked. This project aims to deliver new science and technology as a foundation for optimising indoor atmospheres to improve health, wellbeing, and comfort. Expected outcomes include innovative, efficient, low-cost diagnostic sensing of indoor atmospheres and human–space interactions, real-time detection of airborne pathogens and particles that host them, and cost-effective localised conditioning of spaces for comfort at points of actual use. Benefits should be seen in areas of health, productivity, reduced energy use, and new industries for the design, modernising, and operation of buildings across Australia and beyond.Read moreRead less

They also sustain stunning biodiversity and provide livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Via a dynamic environmental research and policy program, this project will promote sustainable forest use in tropical Australia, the imperilled Asia-Pacific region, and beyond. It will build world-leading research capacity, strengthen ties with Australia's neighbours, and provide Australian scientists with an array of new challenges and research opportunities.Read moreRead less

An Australian child spends up to 10,000 hours in early care and education programs prior to school. These hours are a developmental opportunity. Their potential to improve life chances is well documented. Yet many programs do not deliver on this promise. Nearly 1 in 4 Australian children enter school developmentally vulnerable. This study aims to interrogate the meaning of quality in early education and care programs with focus in communities experiencing the greatest challenges. The expected result is understanding of the mechanisms that limit delivery of the highest quality learning opportunities and outcomes for children. The benefit will be for children attending early education and care programs, their families and the nation’s future.Read moreRead less
