The Discovery Projects scheme provides funding for research projects that can be undertaken by individual researchers or research teams.

Applications for funding under the Discovery Projects scheme are processed once a year.

Discovery Projects aims to:

• support excellent fundamental research by individuals and teams
• enhance the scale and focus of research in the National Research Priorities
• assist researchers to undertake their research in conditions most conducive to achieving best results
• expand Australia's knowledge base and research capability
• foster the international competitiveness of Australian research
• encourage research training in high-quality research environments

Participants should familiarise themselves with the Funding Rules and Funding Agreements on the ARC Discovery Projects website.

Grants from the ARC are made to organisations, not individual researchers or research teams.
