  • Research Funding of Australian Universities: Are There Increasing Concentration?
    Research Funding of Australian Universities: Are There Increasing Concentration? Thi Mai Anh Nguyena, Alicia Rambaldia, Kam Ki Tanga a. University of Queensland, Australia Abstract Australia’s higher education sector is facing a watershed moment of its research funding regime. The Federal Government has proposed to change from the long-standing funding model that heavily based on publication output, to one based on publication plus industry engagement. In this paper, we take stock of how research funding is raised and allocated within the sector over the past two decades. It is found that the share of total research funding by university groups have barely changed. But the discipline of Biological and Clinical Sciences has increasingly dominated competitive funding schemes. Keywords: Research funding, ARC, NHMRC 1 Introduction Australia’s higher education sector is facing unprecedented challenges from both domestic and international fronts. In the past 20 years, the sector has experienced cuts in federal funding on a per student basis (Marginson 2001), a trend that puts pressure on Australian universities to increasingly rely on student fees. Australian universities are increasingly looking to overseas education markets as a source of funding. However, competition for international students has intensified rapidly with the entry of non-English speaking countries from Europe (e.g. France) and Asia (e.g. China) in additional to English speaking countries like the US and Singapore. What adds to this already complex environment is the spectacular rise of global university rankings in the past decade. These rankings are deemed a ‘consumer guide’ by international students or even public organizations (Hazelkorn 2007; HEFCE 2008), and they typically put overwhelming weights on research, especially The Academic Ranking of World Universities (commonly unknown as Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranking).
