The relevant administering organisation is advised when a proposal is identified as potentially ineligible. The administering organisation may provide further information if required. All proposals, regardless of their eligibility status, undergo the same peer review process.” (http://www.arc.gov.au/general/assessment_process.htm) Web: arc.gov.au I Email: [email protected] ARC Medical Research Policy (2) ‘Human health conditions—Pertaining to diseases (as defined above), syndromes, pathological conditions, injuries, signs, symptoms, problems and/or conditions that generally lead to contact with, or utilisation of, health services. Intervention/al—Includes interventions designed to understand and/or change human health conditions, such as: • clinical or pre-clinical trials in human participants • the collection and/or use of body organs, tissues or fluids e.g. skin, blood, urine, saliva, hair, bones, tumour and other biopsy specimens or exhaled breath • behavioural interventions; or • dietary interventions.’ Web: arc.gov.au I Email: [email protected] Ineligible Medical Research • ‘research with human health and/or medical goals, including research on the understanding, aetiology, diagnosis, monitoring, management or treatment of physical or mental disease or other health conditions in humans; OR, • research involving the use or development of animal models of human health conditions, or the use of animals for the development or testing of therapeutic goods (including devices) or procedures, for the purpose of better understanding human health or developing treatments for human health conditions; OR, • interventional research in humans, particularly clinical or pre-clinical trials of therapeutic goods (including devices), or research aiming to modify the health of the human participants; OR, • the use or development of equipment, facilities, tools, games, devices, smart phone applications or other items to understand, diagnose, monitor, manage or treat human health conditions.’ Web: arc.gov.au I Email: [email protected] Ineligible Medical Research (2) ‘If the ARC determines that a proposal is at risk of not being considered by either agency (ARC or NHMRC), the ARC reserves the right to deem such a proposal eligible for assessment. Recognising that an integrated research project or programme may sometimes include a small element of research not supported under this policy, the ARC may, but is not obliged to, deem such a proposal eligible for assessment provided the proposal predominantly comprises eligible research as set out in this policy. Proposals deemed ineligible cannot be recommended or approved for funding under the Australian Research Council Act 2001.’ Web: arc.gov.au I Email: [email protected] Humanities and Creative Arts (HCA) Medical Research Example 7 This project will explore the history of influenza in Australia, investigating how the memory of the 1918-9 epidemic has shaped public memory and concern about influenza as well as popular remedies and prevention approaches. Using an analysis of all available print media and literature from 1918 to the present, this project aims to understand how language, reporting and dramatization in literature may influence public understanding or opinion. Lessons are likely to be able to be drawn from this research to inform contemporary and future public health campaigns. Eligibility Comment: This example is eligible for ARC support as it aims to understand how historical literature and other media can influence public memory and concern, using a human health condition as an example. This proposal would not fit the criteria specifically listed under the “eligible” section of the Policy, noting that it is significantly not within the scope of the policy, as referenced in Policy footnote 1, i.e. that “other research not covered by this policy may also be eligible for ARC support.” Web: arc.gov.au I Email: [email protected] Humanities and Creative Arts (HCA) Medical Research (2) Example 8 Music has long been seen as beneficial for health, both in preventing disease by improving well-being and in relieving the symptoms of health conditions. This research will examine the effect of learning to play the violin on the health of a cohort of people who have had a cancer diagnosis in the last two years and are either currently undergoing or have recently completed treatment. Eligibility Comment: This example is not eligible for ARC support as it aims to modify a human health condition (2a) by using learning the violin as an intervention (2c).

In recognition of this, under subsection D7.4.4 of the Funding Rules, the ARC will allow a DECRA Candidate in the DE17 round to claim an Eligibility Exemption of two years per dependent child (inclusive of carer's responsibility and any maternity or partner/parental leave). (Without providing justification) Web: arc.gov.au I Email: [email protected] Carer’s responsibility “A person who has taken more than two years off to care for a dependent child, or who otherwise believes they are entitled to a greater than two year extension, would need to justify their claim when submitting an eligibility exemption request.
