ARC Industry Fellowships

Grant Consultations

Are you applying for an ARC Mid Career Industry Fellowship, Early Career Industry Fellowship, or Industry Laureate Fellowship? If so, we are delighted to inform you that at Research Impact Academy, we offer expert review and consultation services tailored specifically to assist you with your fellowship applications.  We provide valuable guidance throughout the application process, ensuring that your proposal is well-structured, impactful, and aligned with the requirements of the fellowship program. 

The primary goal of the IFP is to create a pathway to support academic researchers in establishing careers in industry, and industry-based researchers to work in university settings, with the aim of increased two-way mobility and skill-building in research collaboration, translation and commercialisation. The Schemes will also drive research collaboration, translation and commercialisation outcomes across a range of industry settings.​

There are three levels in the IFP. All levels seek to:

  • develop a strong pipeline of researchers in Australia with capabilities in research collaboration, translation and commercialisation;
  • open up and maintain a diversity of career pathways traversing university and industry settings;
  • increase strategic engagement and alignment between universities and industry; 
  • contribute to the solving of industry-identified challenges and opportunities; and
  • create commercial, economic and other benefits for Australia through enhanced translation and commercialisation, including the development of start-up companies.

Feedback from our consulting clients

The team at Research Impact Academy are professional, thorough, and effective, and really lifted up my grant application.

Hannah Badland, RMIT University 

ARC Future Fellowship Consult 

Just briefly I thought the process was great – the combination of the written feedback, zoom call and video recording was excellent. I liked that some additional written feedback was added to the documents during the meeting. In terms of the feedback itself, I thought it was very useful and am confident we now have a stronger application as a result.
