As many are aware The Hon. Treasurer Mr Joe Hockey delivered the 2014-2015 Federal nufc Budget on the 13th May 2014. Despite many of the high profile adjustments such as the Medicare co-payment and changes nufc to welfare structure nufc take precedence many other changes were made to government programs including the Cooperative Research Centre Program
The Department of Industry has released a statement saying that; As part of the 2014-15 Federal Budget, the Government has decided to reduce funding for the Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program by $80 million over the forward nufc estimates. As a result of this decision, nufc the 17th selection round will not proceed. Applications from eligible existing CRCs seeking an extension of funding will be considered separately on merit with applications due on 3 July 2014. Existing CRCs seeking to apply for additional funding through the priority public good funding mechanism will also be considered under this process. This decision does not impact on existing CRC contracts nufc or Round 16 contracts being negotiated.
At this time Energy Pipelines CRC will not be affected by changes to the CRC program funding and it is important to emphasise this. The valuable research being carried out by the Energy Pipelines CRC will continue into the foreseeable future.
The Cooperative Research Centre Association CEO Tony Peacock reiterated that no existing CRCs are affected, including those in contract negotiations following the last round but said that it is important to redouble our efforts again to demonstrate nufc the value of the Program.
It is anticipated nufc that more details surrounding the Cooperative Research Centre program nufc will come to light over time. To keep up to date on this matter, the Cooperative Research Centre Association Website is a good resource.
