Future Fellowships - for funding commencing in 2010
In 2008, the Australian Government announced the creation of a new scheme, Future Fellowships, to promote research in areas of critical national importance by giving outstanding researchers incentives to conduct their research in Australia. The aim of Future Fellowships is to attract and retain the best and brightest mid-career researchers.
At present many highly qualified mid-career researchers choose to work overseas to further their careers due to lack of opportunities in Australia. The Future Fellowships scheme addresses this problem and will significantly boost Australia’s research and innovation capacity in areas of national importance.
Over a five-year period (2009 -2013), Future Fellowships will offer four-year fellowships of up to $141,000 a year to 1,000 outstanding Australian and international researchers in the middle of their career. In addition, the ARC will provide Administering Organisations with funding of up to $50,000 per annum which may be used for infrastructure, equipment, travel and relocation costs directly related to the Future Fellow’s research. Future Fellowships will encourage proposals from researchers working in areas of national priority. Preference will be given to those researchers who can demonstrate a capacity to build collaboration across industry and/or research institutions and/or with other disciplines. Although international experience is important for Australian researchers, it is also important they have the opportunity to return home to continue their work. Future Fellowships will aim to encourage outstanding Australian researchers currently based overseas to return to Australia. One call for submission of Future Fellowships proposals is made each year.

Discovery Indigenous Researchers Development for funding commencing in 2011
The Discovery Indigenous Researchers Development scheme provides support for Indigenous Researchers to undertake research projects that may lead to an understanding of a particular subject or that may meet the requirements of their postgraduate research degrees.
The aims of the scheme are to: - develop the research expertise of Indigenous Researchers who have not participated as a Chief Investigator on a project funded under any of the ARC's other funding schemes or previously been awarded an ARC Fellowship;
- support fundamental research and research training by Indigenous Australian individuals and teams;
- provide Indigenous Researchers with experience in the preparation of research funding Proposals;
- and expand Australia's knowledge base and research capability.

Linkage Infrastructure Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) for funding commencing in 2011: Stage 2
The Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities scheme fosters collaboration through its support of the cooperative use of national and international research facilities.
Essentially, the scheme provides funding for large-scale cooperative initiatives so that expensive infrastructure, equipment and facilities can be shared by researchers in partnered organisations. However, the ARC may fund single-organisation proposals in some circumstances.
[Note revised deadline] Under the scheme, applicants may seek funding for: * infrastructure, equipment and facility purchases, construction and installation * major computing/data facilities, animal houses, herbaria and experimental farms * salaries directly associated with creating and installing infrastructure, equipment or facilities * consortium membership costs, travel to the facility and secretariat costs in the case of Australia's participation in the use of significant international-scale research facilities
