 Hello everyone and welcome to today's webinar on the Australian Data Partnerships Programme. I'm Katherine Brady and I'm from the Australian Research Data Commons and Adrian Burton and I will be providing you with an overview of this program and we're going to provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions you might have at the end of that overview in the second part of our webinar. If you could add your questions to the question pod in GoToWebinar as you think of them and as we're talking, that's fine, just pop them in there and we'll get to them at the end of our presentation. You are muted during the webinar and we will be recording this also. Okay, I'll hand it over now to Adrian Burton, our Director of Data and Services. Hi everyone, this is the Australian Data Partnerships which is an initiative within the Australian Research Data Commons. The Australian Research Data Commons is part of the NCRIS program which is the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and we are a program that focuses in on building Australian research data commons. You can see there we have a number of programs in that area. We deal with a very holistic and system-wide approach to the use of data in research. We go all the way from national policy, people, culture through software and platforms. We have an important coordination role within the sector around data. We also provide some storage and compute infrastructure ourselves as well as the development of data and the provision of services. So very wide area of activity. This particular activity is within our National Data Assets program. Again within NCRIS because we're doing this within the framework of the National Research Infrastructure Roadmap. What we're trying to do here is build up these nationally significant assets to support leading-edge research which is one of the defining characteristics of the National Research Infrastructure. What does that mean? What is a national data asset in this infrastructure kind of context? Really the program that we're talking about today is a Co-Investment Initiative of the ARDC to build really on the premise that data is part of the National Research Infrastructure or it can be part of the National Research Infrastructure. The premises on which this program is based is first of all that there is some data. Now we're not too fussy about where the data comes from. It's data for research. This could be from research. It could equally be from government business or other sources. It should be national. The premises behind this program is that we are talking about a data asset that is generated and consumed and governed by multiple organizations. So the NCRIS program is a National Research Infrastructure Program. So we are dealing with data that requires multiple organizations to be involved. As far as research is concerned, the NCRIS program really is to support leading-edge research. So we are looking for those kinds of assets that can be applied to research. So it's not just collecting data for data's sake, but it's collecting data for research's sake. And there are a number of numbers. This is an exciting time in research where the information and innovation agendas are really pushing new ways of doing research and data is one of those things that can help that. It's also an infrastructure program, so you should keep that in mind when you're thinking about partnering with the ARDC. We are an infrastructure program, and so the data that you're developing, we are really looking to partner with people who can make the data available in the same way, you know, think of infrastructure like a road or a port. Anyone can come and use this infrastructure for productive other research reasons. So really we are looking to almost expand the national infrastructure offerings in data by co-investing and partnering with a whole set of people to build up new assets that can be part of this infrastructure. They can be used by a wide range of different researchers and even non-research. So that's really the basic tenets behind this program is that data can be part of national research infrastructure and these are the kinds of criteria, but characteristics of data that can be part of the national research infrastructure. If you look across the ecosystem right at the bottom there, there is a lot of data that comes from or is related to the normal project and operations of research institutions or government agencies and we are very supportive of that. This program is not necessarily just about that operational or project level data. This is about the data that pushes up to be part of community and national reference collections and that's the part where ARDC really thinks that we can provide a difference now of it and it's the only level at which NCRISC can operate. These are the national pieces of infrastructure. There is a lot of data that happens at that project and operational stage and obviously you look to your own institution or your own government department for the normal management of that data but it's where they start to be pulled up to be community or national collections that the ARDC is willing to be part of that partnership. It's not quite so black and white though because these reference collections actually are sustained and maintained by research institutions and government agencies etc. That's partly why we think it's a good role for ARDC is to complement those institutional resources for something which goes well beyond the institutional boundary. The current program that we're talking to you about today is called the Australian Data Partnerships Program. We're really focusing here on those partnerships, the national scale partnerships. Capitalising them, developing them, helping them to scale up so that we can then have national scale data and that national scale data can give an advantage to our researchers. Now, it's these partnerships again that we really think that ARDC as a national research infrastructure programme can partner with all set of stakeholders once ARDC can be the glue or part of the cement or part of the catalyst to bring this or to solidify to develop these national data assets. The resourcing of these assets we acknowledge that it's well beyond the scope of a single organisation and just the friction, not the friction, the flag fall of bringing together a number of partners means that resourcing these things are not that easy and we think it's a really great role that ARDC can play as to help to scale up or step up these national data assets or even helping scaling up the governance and buy in from the community into them. So that's why it's called partnerships, the Australian Data Partnerships because that's really the key area where we think we can make a difference in the ecosystem. Again, back to the increased roots of the ARDC, we are one of the increased facilities and this was a slide from the review of the research infrastructure that was done by the chief scientist in 2016. You see on the right here we've got national infrastructure, it needs to support research institutions and world-class universities and industry, but that's not all, it's not just infrastructure for infrastructure's sake. Off to the right here you see that we really are as the increased programme is committed to real impacts to society and long broader impacts than just research and you'll see a little bit later on how we've integrated that formally into this programme. So I think that was all on the background there, I'll hand over now to Catherine where we talk a little bit more around the actual shape of the programme that we're proposing. Thanks Adrian. Okay, this programme it's part of a larger initiative that we're calling the National Data Assets Initiative within ARDC. There are six programmes in this initiative and they've targeted different partners and different beneficiaries. So already underway we've had open calls for the public sector, NCRIS and the start of our health studies programme. There's this one, the Australian Data Partnerships and to come emerging collections and institutional underpinnings. So that's just to give an introduction to the National Data Assets Initiative at this programme sitting as one of six programmes within that. Next slide, Adrian. And you'll see that this, some of those other programmes were targeted to particular beneficiaries or audiences. This one is the most open of the programmes. There are no particular eligibility requirements around who can apply. We're looking for national level data assets, preferably both in coverage and access. And as Adrian mentioned, the partnerships in the programme is important. We're looking for multi-organisational initiatives, so strong partnerships, national partnerships to deliver those national level data assets. We're talking about this programme as our flagship programme as being our largest and most open programme of the six. So at a glance, we're looking to support development of national scale data assets for leading edge research. As Adrian said, we're recognising that the benefits from such national scale data assets can't be realised without some sort of Commonwealth investment. And that the scale of such infrastructure and its collaborations won't emerge naturally from individual research organisation investments and activities. So ARDC is taking a role here. And to do that, we're investing up to $500,000 per project with projects expected to commence next year in January. The call for expressions of interest is already open on our website and it'll be closing at the end of next week, which is the 31st of July. For those applications that are successful at our expression of interest stage, they will be invited to submit a request for proposal. And that request for proposal will open on the 1st of September and close again on the 18th of September. And there will be an evaluation period after that. And then next slide. What we're looking for in these projects is a number of key characteristics. And that is that these projects are establishing a new national data asset or they might be enhancing an existing data asset, but such that it has made a national data asset. We're looking, as I said, the eligibility is very open, but we're just looking that the lead project lead is from an Australian organisation. But the project collaborators could be international. We're definitely looking for the active project participants to form a national partnership and that's a very important part of this program. And we're looking for the data asset that results from these projects to be national and scale. And what we mean by that national and scale is that the data is contributed by multiple organisations, that there are multiple beneficiaries and they cover many organisations and all that the governance arrangements include multiple organisations. Actually, so all of those things. So the next slide. What sort of things are covered in this program for these projects? What sort of activities are we looking at? So there's quite a bit of detail there, but briefly there'll be activities around identifying and documenting research purpose and the target research community for the collection. Looking at improvements to data quality, data standards, the coverage, the discoverability, usability and access arrangements around that data. There might be activities around consensus building for adoption and implementation of those improvements or that above around quality coverage, etc. They might be activities that look at developing data deposit and capture workflows or processing and curation pipelines or even the interfaces and tools and platforms that support that data. And part of those activities would also be in scope would be formalising policy statements, governance arrangements and the operations and business models around the national data asset. And for co-investment, which is our next slide. Previously, we've, for AID supported investments, we've asked for a matching co-investment of dollars from our investing partners. But for this program and in light of the issues that are faced by institutions with the COVID pandemic, the one-to-one threshold for co-investments being waived and will not apply for this program. So you won't be required to have a one-to-one co-investment in order to apply. However, the amount of co-investment that you're proposing in your application will form part of the assessment that we make during the evaluation process. So it is still an important part of the overall program and its assessment. Okay, and looking to a project overview. So this slide, we're trying to show how usually you typically conceive of, I guess, a project pipeline or workflow. So at number one in the blue, you'd have some project imports. So more specifically in this case, you'd have some ARDC resources and support that we've talked about as part of this program. And to match that, and as well as you'd also have resources and support from other research organisations and facilities or research communities and other beneficiary groups. Those feed in to the project activities. And the project activities for this program would be looking at things around, so the previous slide, the sort of activities we talked about that were in scope, those changes to the data quality, those improvements in standards, improvements in access arrangements, implementing those governance and policy and workflow arrangements would all be part of the project activities. And those project activities lead to project outputs. So that's what we're aiming for in this program is a national data asset. And that data asset will be for research, for data integration into workflows and tools and platforms, integration of that data into tools and platforms and those workflows. So output improved national data asset for research. Having a look at the next page. So beyond the project outputs, it's really important we're thinking for this program that we have a focus on the longer term project outcomes and the impacts for those projects. So we're placing quite a bit of importance on the post project phase that we're calling it. So those project outputs from the last slide that improved national data asset that's available for research and the integration of that data into workflows and platforms will have outcomes also as time goes on. And we're hoping that those outcomes would be something like the increased use of that data in research as that's an aim of this program. And then those outcomes lead to those longer term impacts. Those things that might be a little bit more difficult to see and measure. But we're looking to make changes there and see things like research efficiency or environmental, social and economic consequences from the investments that we and you make in this program leading to increased use of national data assets in research. And these ultimate impacts are in the wider research space and in society as a whole. So that's a little bit of an overview of how we see our investment and the projects sort of flowing and working and Adrian's going to pick up with those outcomes and impacts. Adrian. John, just taking up on what Catherine was saying there about the really emphasis that we're placing on these outcomes and impacts of the projects. And so we've integrated it throughout the whole program here in the planning stage. Exactly how the data will be used in research is part of the selection criteria as the intended, you know, broader impacts. We're encouraging research users and in beneficiary and translation partners to be all part of the program. And we'll be asking questions about who's on the, we're encouraging them through the criteria and through the questions to have those kind of end user beneficiaries involved right from the beginning so that they can be part of the planning for the project and part of the planning of the infrastructure. And we will be asking for an explicit plan as part of the project plan, the normal project plan that you do for any kind of a project we will be asking for an explicit section around how you're planning for the asset to be used in research, and then how that research intends to connect to broader societal impact. So that's all in that first side there, the planning side of it. We will expect that as part of the implementation of the actual project itself, that you implement the things that were in the plan and that you really have a program around community awareness about how to get the research community buy into the use of the data infrastructure. That you're putting in systems to track that usage. And there's important party we take this so seriously that there is an extra 5% available if you are making changes that will allow you to track the usage of the infrastructure after the project. And then on to the last section there there is a reporting phase. And that's the formal reporting for these projects continues to the 12 and 24 month stage after the project, in which case we'll be contacting you for information about the use of this you know any metrics you have around that the use of the infrastructure in research. And a little bit, you know in the broader sense any narratives or story about how it's connecting into the broader societal benefit. These are things that we inherit from the increase program. We know that all research organizations in Australia are also inheriting the same imperatives because they're not just things that we're making up their part of research system policy in Australia that we have excellent research that the research infrastructure supports that excellent research. And the whole research system is contributing to the benefits for the society. So these are not, you know, we're hoping that you will have them as shared priorities as well. So that's on the research outcomes and broader societal impacts. Another thing that we take very seriously is the idea of fair. It's part of the increase program principles and policy that I'll read it here that data generated create and captured or stored by increase from the projects will be made available to the wider research community based on the fair principles. And you'll get these slides afterwards there's a link there to a guideline that we have for projects that we're co investing in. And that will give you some very clear guidelines on what you know what at least a basic level of fairness is for the data outputs from these projects. I think that was all on that. I think we might be able to pause there. You can go on to our website if you have any further questions as a little question form there on the program page there. I think we're ready to pause for questions. I think we mentioned at the beginning that questions you type them into the question box. Catherine, do we have anything we have a few questions and please keep popping them in there and I'll keep checking. We have one question about the difference between the main differences between the platforms and the data partnerships program. And we have another question about the proposed institutional underpinnings call and what that one will be about. Good. Well, I knew you should ask that question, but I've got a couple of slides here so I might as well just go straight on to those. Assuming that people would want to know, not necessarily just about the Australian data partnerships program but its relationship with other parts of the stuff that we other programs we have. One of the ways of looking at infrastructure for data is that you can build data generating data infrastructure. You can build data that's infrastructure that's for organizing data or using data and obviously they're linked and related etc but the focus quite often in infrastructure terms. So focusing on these particular functions. As far as the ARDC programs are concerned, if you're thinking about a platform or a software environment that will that's really focusing on helping people to use data then that's probably to do with our platforms program which we'll talk about if you're talking about things are going to work there. If it's about generating data than ARDC does not have any programs in the generation of data stage that's a different area of infrastructure that we're not involved in. And if it's about organizing data then we have our national data assets program. And just to, between that so the question we specifically had is, you know, what, what about the, where do we sit between platforms and national data assets. The national data assets programs and there are a number of them but they're all to do with improvements to the data itself, the actual data asset is the output of a national data assets project. The improvements are broad we have a very holistic view of the world. It's quality and standards, you know process fairness the coverage of the whole, the whole asset itself is in scope, as is governance and access arrangements and policy etc. So as we're focusing in on the content in the, in the national data assets program. It is in scope to build the interface to tools and platforms within these projects. On the other side there, we have another call out for platforms. There's more about, you know, a platform or a virtual environment or that allows researchers to do something to use or analyze or visualize manipulate collaborate access. There's a whole set of stuff there but that's what a platform project about and the platform project is really about the development of that software platform. And of course the last one there, the connections back to the data are in our in scope there so there is a little bit of overlap between the two programs there are some activities that would be in scope for both. But if the core of your activity is in one or the other then I strongly recommend that you tailor a specific proposal that is appropriate to those programs. We're running them both at the same time so that if you're very worried about being able to do both you could you you can run proposals in each program but remember they are complimentary programs so that if you're putting the same words into both and I can be assured that you will at least fail in one of them and possibly in both because they actually have complimentary outputs and ambitions. That's between platforms and national data assets we have a second question about. Yes that's the emerging collections and partnerships so I grade out the public sector and increase because those expression ventures are already out. We wanted to have some programs that were specifically allocated to some priority areas that that we had the emerging collections is yet to come. I'd be wanting to know well how does that relate to the Australian data partnerships. Let's wait to look at that is in this idea of resourcing and support on one side. So if we think about a data collection and this is the slippery slide or the the roller coaster ride of developing a data asset. What usually happens is you have a founding group that is running with some kind of an idea around the data asset. They have resourcing and some kind of support from their either their institution or their group. As the data asset actually grows in scale and scope, the founding group is actually less and less resourced to actually keep it going. Unfortunately, a national consortium may only want to get involved when the across this right hand access the data asset actually has a national impact and national scope and a national scale. So in kind of startup terms they call this little valley here the Valley of Death in that the original group can't keep resourcing this thing as it grows big. But it's not big enough yet for you to get the attention of our national consortium. So that little valley of death there is really what the emerging collections program is about. We are looking to bridge that gap by either acting on the data asset itself and bringing up to that scale where the national consortium is obvious or working on the national consortium side of things to say well, what do we need to bring in place to bring the other partners formally onto the project and set up that governance and other policy arrangements. So that's what emerging collections is about it's really bridging that gap from if you think about the rainforest to remember I had the slide at the beginning there the rainforest metaphor. How do you get through the, you know, so there is a bit of a gap there for the trees that are trying to push up through the canopy there and we have an emerging collections program for that. It's much smaller and they're shorter projects but it's that sort of catalyst there that would make a big difference to an emerging program. There's meant to be six to 12 month kind of projects with an indicative investment of around $50,000 from the ARDC, and we will be running those programs, a number of those emerging collections programs into the future. The first one of which is scheduled for a quarter four of this year. And to contrast that with the program we've been talking about today the Australian data partnerships is about something which does have a, at least a convincing or compelling national scale with the set of partners and partnerships, and that you're on that ramp up. I remember I said that the role of our DC was to help with the scaling up or the step up or you're really catalyzing your a new state for a compelling data asset. So that's their targeted at slightly different stages of development and that's why we have I know it's a little bit confusing with a lot of programs but those programs are there for specific strategic purposes so that we have a portfolio of activities that help a number of different stakeholders and types of data collections. So I have a question about. Let's go back about this program the institution underpinnings. Sorry. The institution underpinnings is is aimed at the institution as an institution so the central areas of the institution stepping up, you know the research offices and it and library and research. The institution stepping up to say yes as an institution we have the infrastructure, the policies, the support frameworks for managing, you know, for yes for managing data, we have the capability for data and it's these institution underpinnings which will be a great benefit for us in all these other programs, but that's the institutional underpinnings program is really focused back at the institutions in and setting up a national framework for this institution capability in data management. And that also is targeted for expression of interest towards the end of the. Any other questions. We've got quite a few questions, a couple more on platforms but I think you've covered those so we might just move on to. There were quite a few questions around funding. There was what can be included in the budget salaries travel workshops. Also, can we spend the money on data collection or processing samples that have been collected by other organizations. Going backwards into those and you can remind me of the ones that are okay data collection and as we said this program is not really about data generation. The only edge cases there is when quite often what you're doing in a national data asset is defining a new set of standards that represent the new national data asset. But it's quite often need to be pushed back into the data collection pipeline. We certainly wouldn't be funding, you know, data collection as part of our contribution to these projects, but the integration I suppose and the socialization and the adopting of those new data standards and principles into the data generation pipeline could be a small part of the project. Other questions there Catherine I forgot about all the other shopping list of stuff there with a scope or that was travel and travel and look, the output here is a national data asset and with national consensus. So, so long as the activities that you're proposing are to that end, then that's okay if you need to have a workshop. Again, it's proportion. The if it's if it if you're doing data consensus and data development and data standards development we understand that you do need to do that needs to be a lot of communication around that and any activities that that contribute to that can be in scope traveling just do research or to attend a research conference is out of scope these are infrastructure programs. I think that was everything. Adrian, there's a couple of questions about co investment what's considered co investment. So is that staff time existing infrastructure salaries. Again, travel. What if we have a grant that's already investing in a data asset, we include that funding can we list past investments in the data asset. The key thing about the scope. Let me see because I've got this up on the screen I can control that if I go back. The key thing about what you can co invest in is here. Co investment is in the activities of the project or anything that's in scope activity there that is going to be mentioned in your work packages. Any contribution to that is in scope for co investment. The inputs are not co investment. So if you've got some existing data and you've been collecting that for 20 years, we are very grateful for that for that activity and support it. However, you can't say, look, we've got $100 million worth of work that's already happened in this project. What we're saying to you okay what is going to happen in this project. And what activity who is going to invest in those activities. I think there are another just remind me of any other questions around that. I think you can fit everything there. Yeah. Sorry, I'm looking ahead to the next questions. There was a question about what resources are available through ARDC for storage of large volumes of data in perpetuity. All right. These projects are for catalyzing developing doing something different changing the quality of your day where we said improvements to data. We also have programs around storage. And those programs like this are being rolled out in a in a gradual way. So, yes, we do have programs in that area. The activities that we're asking about in this project are about what is required to build the content of that collection, what is required to change the quality of it. So, we hope to be able to bring together a whole set of things. I remember in my very first slide, you know, we say we do skills and people and culture and policy we have to be able to contribute to your projects in a number of ways, including long term storage. We'll be looking to you as well to tell us what you think the operational footing of the program would look like after the end of the project. And the ARDC is part of the long term national research infrastructure and we will, we will continue our program of in those in all those areas of culture and policy and software platforms and underpinning storage and compute infrastructure. Okay, there are a couple of questions about international partners. So the first one was can overseas organizations be involved and provide data? Can we have international partners and is integration of national data assets with international comparative collections within Scope here? That's a very good question and not one that I was particularly prepared for. In general, the linkages with international are a sign of extremely high value. And so we would consider them to be highly desirable components of a project. The way we've set it up again is that these are for improvements to a national data asset. The connections to international will certainly give our Australian researchers an advantage. Everyone wants to be able to take part in global research. I think obviously that the, the number of the activities of the project is to make the changes to our national assets here to make them integratable or to enable collaborations with those international partners. So yes, I can't see why any of that activity would be out of scope. The obvious thing that you need to the output of it is that we actually do have a national data asset. So aligning with international best practices probably one of the best ways to make sure that you're getting the best standards. So a number of the things which are in scope, you know, changes to data quality and standards even on this slide here. Usually the best way to do that in a research world is to align with international standards. So we would consider all those activities as well and truly in scope with the proviso that the output as you see here is it is the Australian component of that international collaboration. And we have another question around eligibility and organizations just clarifying when we say multiple organizations do we mean individuals from multiple organizations or organizations as a whole. So I think we use that in relationship to governance from multiple organizations now. Having people from multiple organizations is a sign of national buy-in. So I think that's a very good thing in some cases as far as the ongoing operations of something you also want the organization as a whole to be involved. So I think both of those things, both, you know, both individuals and research organizations would have would be part of a really strong partnership and play different roles in the project. Okay. There was a question about is partnerships this program, Australian data partnerships the same as national data assets. There's a bit of overlap in the language but just to clarify the national data assets initiative is the overarching initiative that sits over the six programs of which the Australian data partnerships is one. Australian data partnerships is developing national data assets. There is a nice bit of documentation on our website which does step out each of the programs and when the open calls will be and how they fit within the national data assets initiative. There was another question about emerging collections and information on that. Now you can find that on our website. Some brief information on the ARDC website as well. With more information that you within the next month. Yep. Okay. I'm just going to take the opportunity to pull my line down as you asked the question. Yes, let me look for the next one. Okay, we had a couple of questions. I'll try this about the process. So I was just saying, Adrian, we have a couple of questions about the process. One is about. Oh, I've lost it now was about the filtering at the UI stage what will happen there. I will be filtering. Yeah. And I'll find the other one that is lost. Usually the UI stage. We did say that that some would be invited to go over to request for proposal. Usually the UI stage only thing that we would be filtering on is on the eligibility components of the program, meaning. Are there Australian research organizations involved in a partnership? Are they are you developing a national data asset? If someone were to come into this saying, you know, I'm doing a training program and we love training programs. We would say, well, okay, you're an individual. This is a training program. It doesn't really fit the criteria for this program. We, you know, so those are the kind of things we wouldn't take forward into the request for proposal. At that UI stage, we're not judging whether we think it's a strong proposal or a weak proposal or etc. It's just whether it fits the eligibility criteria of the program. We made during the UI stage suggest that people that there are similar ideas. So that's part of the idea of the expression of interest stage is to surface ideas that are working in the same area that might be able to combine. Or at least realize that they are, you know, how they might be complimenting each other. And there was a question about, well, we have a specific assessment criteria. And will there be a template the assessor will use that was probably in relation to the request for proposal stage. Yes, so the express expressions of interest there will not be. So the final request for proposal yes is taken to external selection panel that has people on it external to the ARDC as well as ARDC people. And they do have explicit criteria and rubric for assessment. That's at the request for proposal stage. Remember, I said we don't really assess the expressions of interest at the first stage. We just check over them to see whether they fit the scope of the program. And there's some questions where people have yet to clarify a few things and want to know if they can put in an EOI anyway. If they still need to confirm co-funding from other partners and or they're firming up other collaborators partners pending official approval, but they'll have it sorted by the RFP state would we still recommend they go ahead and put in an EOI. Yes, on both those counts I would strongly recommend you put in the expression of interest even if it's not complete. Especially for things like your co-investment or a number of partners. Those are things that would be only assessed at the request for proposal stage. Unless we get something that just has a single name on it with no relationship to anything else then we might start to say, perhaps this one's not going to make it on won't be eligible because of the national criteria. A specific question around disease or condition specific registries with national participation, which includes community representation, are they suitable for the data partnerships program? I think so, yes. This program here is as open as it can possibly get. And that sounds like it's a disease registry usually has data coming in from all over the place. It has data being used from all over the place. It actually has some kind of a governance and access arrangements that are also taken care of by multiple institutions. So, yeah, sounds like a national data asset in our terms. Can a lead organization in this program be a company or do they need to be a research institute? They need to have an ABN as our hurdle there, which is not a high one. We're not in this program saying that it has to be a specific kind of organization who plays that lead role. We would obviously as part of the partnership, the Australian Data Partnership, we would be looking for prominent research organizations that show the broad participation of the research community, the buying from the research community, the requirements of the research community. But it's possible that a specific company may be able to be just the brokerage that would bring all that together. That's the case. That's why we haven't been specific about necessarily making you ineligible just because you're not a research organization. In the past, for example, we've had an Academy of Science come forward to be the broker. It's not a research organization, but they were a good broker for one of these national partnerships. So I could see that other types of company might be able to come forward in that sense. Great. We have a question about the allocation of funding. Does it go to, I guess, the lead, receive the 100% of the ARDC investment, or is it divided up between the partners? We have one contract with one organization, a lead organization, and it's up to them to allocate subcontracts or allocate the resources wherever they're needed for the resource packages. We don't require that necessarily that the work is being done in several places. Although having work packages done by a number of different organizations can be a symptom of larger community buying. So although it's not required, that's one of the ways of enabling that. But no matter what it is, if you're going to spend it all in one place or in five, ARDC only has one contract with a host organization and they deal with any dispersal of funds within that. Okay. There's a few questions about what's required at the EOI stage. And I just, given time here, I'd suggest you have a look on our website at the form, which you can view. You can view in an alternative format as well. And you'll see what's required to submit an expression of interest. And exactly there. Someone's asked about examples of what has been funded previously. This is the first time we've run this exact program. The ARDC has made investments in other types of programs previously and there is some information about those programs on our website under projects. They were our discovery projects. Now, they're not the same as this program. But if you want to have a look at some of the projects that have been invested in by ARDC in the past, that information is available on our website. Just lost another question. We've had quite a few questions and we're just getting to time now. A few of them are quite detailed or specific to your circumstances. We might start to wrap it now, but we will update the questions in the FAQ on our website. And we will have a record of these questions and provide you an answer either in FAQ or get back to you directly. If you feel that you have something more specifically or your question hasn't been answered, please get in touch with us via our website where you can ask a question about this program. If you have questions about the platforms program, there's also a similar avenue to ask a question on the platforms page of our website. And that will be directed to the program managers for that program. Is there anything else you want to say, Adrian, finishing up? No. How do you see looks forward to working with the community on these really valuable partnerships. And we've talked about partnerships throughout the whole hour today. It's part of our strategy to do with data in that data is not a transaction that you just. It's something that has time and depth and it has a history of how it was produced with a research community or through a government process. And it has history into the future about how we will build longitudinal data sets, etc. So we think that the best way for us to capture the value of data is through partnerships with long lived research organizations and government organizations. And that's through the application of ARDC resources and letting the data reside with the different research organizations or government agencies businesses. And that's the best way to build a data infrastructure is through these partnerships where components from the national research infrastructure components from research organizations and other players. That's the reason why we've had such a focus on partnerships here is that that's because that's the kind of infrastructure that's required for data. So we couldn't do it. We can't possibly do it without you. So we're really looking forward to being able to partner with a number of players in this area. Thanks, Adrian. And thanks so much everyone for your attendance today and all the fantastic questions as I said, we'll be updating the FAQ on our website in the next couple of days. And please, if you feel you have a question that hasn't been answered, get in touch with us via the ask a question form on our website. And we're looking forward to receiving all those expressions of interest. Okay, that's all today. Thank you. Bye for now.
