The program supports PhD candidates to undertake industry-focused research projects and be equipped with the knowledge and skills to better translate university research into commercial outcomes.
Forty research projects have been awarded funding including:

The second application round received a total of 128 applications across a variety of fields of research. The program consists of two streams:

The program is part of a $296 million Government’s Increase Workforce Mobility initiative to build up research talent skilled in university-industry collaboration and harness the world-class research Australian universities are known for.
