The 2026 HRC Project and Programme round has not opened yet.
The HRC Council are working to introduce changes to increase the responsiveness, meliness and alignment with
government priori es and expecta ons of the round, as well as improving the clarity, transparency and direc on we
provide to the research sector in this regard.
We also need to make changes to improve the efficiency and reduce the costs associated with running the round
following no fica on of our $590K reduc on in budget.
We are working as quickly as we can to make the changes, open the round and communicate these changes to the
sector.
Please note this work is confiden al at present. We have a holding communica on advising the research sector that we
will confirm the round opening dates in August.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Best wishes

Thanks
