Appendix 3: Prizes and awards
This appendix provides information to support the Key Activity 1 performance indicator—External recognition of the achievements of ARC-funded researchers (see page 32). External recognition of the achievements of ARC-funded researchers through the receipt of prizes and awards is considered to be a proxy indicator of the excellence of the researchers being funded under the NCGP.
The following list of prizes and awards (Table A3) has been developed in consultation with key stakeholders within the research and innovation sector to highlight the research excellence of recipients. It reflects a selection of the prizes and awards won by recipients of ARC funding. Those listed were funded under the NCGP for projects commencing between July 2015 and June 2020.
