CAPA welcomes the Policy Review of the National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP).
CAPA is very pleased to see the main aim of the review “A renewed focus and structure for the NCGP will enable Australia to: build the next generation of world-class researchers, including Indigenous researchers”. As the peak body for HDR and postgraduate coursework students, CAPA is strongly committed to ensuring that current and future researchers are prepared adequately to achieve success for the Australian research sector. Moreover, we believe the particular emphasis on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers echoes our calls to increase funding for coursework postgraduates.
