Abstract

MARCH is a big month for research in Australia. Applications in the two major funding rounds for the Australian Research Council Discovery and National Health and Medical Research Council project grants are due, as are submissions to the Excellence in Research for Australia process. Both the grant writing and ERA calculations once again raised questions about the adequacy of support and recognition for interdisciplinary research. A report I just completed for the Australian Council of Learned Academies called Strengthening Interdisciplinary Research: What it is, what it does, how it does it and how it is supported explores some key questions. Is it true that interdisciplinary research is marginalised and underfunded? If so, why? And why are we still asking questions about how interdisciplinary research should be initiated, funded, managed, assessed and rewarded?
