Summary
Mathematical Biosciences Network. The network's aim is to stimulate the transfer of ideas, scientific insights, models and computational methods across the interface of mathematics and biology. Collaborative effort and training will occur to push forward the frontiers of biology and mathematics related to the fundamental problems of life, including how embryos develop, how diseases can be controlled, and how to describe and predict intra- and inter-cellular processes.

Collaborative effort and training will occur to push forward the frontiers of biology and mathematics related to the fundamental problems of life, including how embryos develop, how diseases can be controlled, and how to describe and predict intra- and inter-cellular processes. A major theme of the network is the transfer of information through an e-science grid allowing direct access to experimental data and model simulations.Read moreRead less

Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research. This multidisciplinary proposal has four integrated research themes which enhance existing Antarctic research. The proposal will build new polar research capability in Tasmania to secure and reinforce its recognition as a global leader in Antarctic and Southern Ocean science; develop a marine technology hub; leverage co-investment with national and overseas agencies; and further establish Tasmania as a gateway for Antarctic research, education, innovation a ....Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research. This multidisciplinary proposal has four integrated research themes which enhance existing Antarctic research. The proposal will build new polar research capability in Tasmania to secure and reinforce its recognition as a global leader in Antarctic and Southern Ocean science; develop a marine technology hub; leverage co-investment with national and overseas agencies; and further establish Tasmania as a gateway for Antarctic research, education, innovation and logistics. The initiative will bolster Australia's Antarctic program via integration of novel understanding of ice-shelf and ice sheet contributions to present-day sea level change, and new perspectives on polar marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, and sea-ice forecasting.Read moreRead less

Computational Molecular Science (CMS) involves the use of theory and computational methods to simulate and visualise molecular systems ranging from small atmospheric species to proteins, nucleic acids, chemical polymers and materials. It represents our most incisive expression of what we understand about the molecular basis of nature. The CMS network will integrate and cross-fertilize both fundamental and application-based expertize in molecular scale computations in the fields of nanoscience, biomaterials, biotechnology, biomedical science and environmental science. It will uncover and explore critical new interdisciplinary science and create new molecular-based paradigms that will drive advances in these fields over the next decade.Read moreRead less

The Self and its Disorders: Humanistic, Psychiatric, and Neural Perspectives. Mental disorder fragments the self, distorts its development in adolescence, and obliterates it in old age.

Mental disorder fragments the self, distorts its development in adolescence, and obliterates it in old age. Because no one discipline can adequately understand the self and its pathologies, this Initiative aims to bring together researchers from the humanities and the sciences of the mind to investigate what mental disorder can reveal about the nature of the self, and what humanistic approaches to the self can contribute to its scientific study. A better understanding of diminished selfhood in mental disorder will lead to improvements in social policy and thereby to social and financial benefits for the community at large.Read moreRead less

As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which is the main focus of this network. The CIs will collaborate in several ways, ranging from basic research to applications, to enable the creation and maintenance of highly dependable computer systems and networked applications.

Funding is sought to establish the framework for an Australian-based international research network of scholars in medieval and early modern studies (MEMS). The MEMS network will develop collaborative, cross-institutional and interdisciplinary lines of enquiry in three main areas: family, gender and social history; war, peace and conflict; Australian reception of European culture. The objectives are: a bibliometric survey of relevant Australian resources; meetings to coordinate and integrate the efforts of existing Australasian MEMS organisations, early career researchers, and isolated scholars; exchanges of postgraduates; development of a web-base to act as a virtual workshop and conference facility linking Australian and international research.Read moreRead less
