Climate Ready application process: just like Commercial Ready

Reading the postings of Malcolm Lambert on the Climate Ready program (which is now open for business) over at TechNation (and Part 1 here), it's striking how familiar the process is. It's almost exactly the same as the former Commercial Ready Program. And that was not radically different from the R&D Start program.

So, if the Cutler Review proposes any new grants program it would seem that AusIndustry has the administrative machinery pretty well organised to sort out the applications!

  1. It will be interesting to see what Climate Ready grants will be awarded. I imagine that AusIndustry will be fairly strict on how "the project addresses the effects of climate change" as the Climate Ready projects will come under a lot of scrutiny.

  2. Interesting Peter - it seems that most of the process seems to be that Climate Ready needs the "effects of climate change" as a basic eligibility hurdle.

    The degree to which climate change may be a result is NOT a merit criterion for the project.

    As such, it's difficult to see how the scrutiny can match the projects getting funded.

    Looking forward to seeing what gets funded, though!
