Associate Professor Hang Ta has been appointed to the Australian Research Council (ARC) College of Experts and the ARC Medical Research Advisory Group.
ARC College of Experts
To support the advancement of knowledge and contribute to national innovation, the ARC engages an ARC College of Experts to play a key role in identifying research excellence. Its members are experts of international standing drawn from the Australian research community: from higher education, industry and public sector research organisations.
The College of Experts assists the ARC by:
- assigning external assessors;
- assessing and ranking ARC grant applications submitted under the National Competitive Grants Program;
- moderating external assessments;
- providing recommendations for fundable applications to the ARC CEO;
- assisting with recruiting through the nomination of new assessors;
- providing advice for peer review reforms; and
- providing strategic advice to the ARC on emerging disciplines and cross-disciplinary developments.
ARC Medical Research Advisory Group (MRAG)
It is responsible for providing additional technical advice to the ARC’s National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP) Eligibility Committee regarding medical eligibility for selected applications.
MRAG members may be individuals from current or past ARC Colleges of Experts or candidates with sufficient seniority to have broad overview of the research sector. All have expertise in relevant research areas and disciplines where technical advice on an application’s aims, methodology and objectives in the specific context of the ARC Medical Research Policy may be needed.
