What is NCRIS?
Through NCRIS, the Government is providing $542 million over 2005-2011 to provide researchers with major research facilities, supporting infrastructure and networks necessary for world-class research.
No funding is currently available for new projects. All available funding has been allocated to priority capability areas identified in the 2006 NCRIS Roadmap.
