The expectation is that projects assisted by grants from the Fund will lead to publication in the Australian Journal of Public Administration or in other appropriate public administration outlets. Applications are now open for the 2013 round of funding and close on 23 August 2013.
A Joint Committee has been established to administer the Fund and to approve research studies and other projects to be financed from the Fund. Inquiries may be directed to members of the Committee.
