Object of the Act RUN welcomes the amendments to the object of the Act which clearly strengthen and clarify the role of the Australian Research Council. [...] The Australian Research Council Board RUN supports the increased focus on the role, remit and composition of the Australian Research Council Board and support the outlined functions and powers of the Board. [...] Despite supporting the functions and powers of the Board, RUN has concerns about the proposed number of Board Members and feel that the number of Board Members is likely to be insufficient to meet the breadth of expertise required to perform all the functions expected of it. [...] Conclusion Overall, RUN welcomes the introduction of the Bill noting the strong alignment between the Bill and the outcomes of the Trusting Australia’s Ability: Review of the Australian Research Council Act 2001. [...] RUN recommends that the resourcing of the Australian Research Council be further investigated and that the size of the Australian Research Council Board be increased.
