The Grants Scheme has three programs:
The Grants Scheme is designed to conform to the following principles:
Under the ALTC Grants Scheme, Institutions listed in Table A and Table B of the Higher Education Support Act (2003) and other approved higher education providers receiving places under the Commonwealth Grants Scheme are eligible to apply for grants. A list of the eligible institutions is available to download.
The Guidelines documents provide the information applicants need to apply for a grant.
Reports on the operations of the Grants Scheme and initiatives funded:
The Australian Learning and Teaching Council administers grants under the Grants Scheme, Fellowship Scheme and other initiatives.
All our programs are designed to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in higher education, to facilitate innovation and collaboration and to disseminate best practice. The grants administered under our programs are competitive, but they are not research grants and are not listed on the Australian Competitive Grants Register. This means that under present arrangements income from ALTC grants does not contribute to Category 1 income in determining an institution's Research Infrastructure Block Grant entitlement.
Nevertheless, ALTC funded projects, Fellowships and other initiatives may include a research component. It may be, therefore, that some of the income deriving from an ALTC funded project, Fellowship or other initiative is eligible for inclusion in an institution's Category 2 income, 'other public sector research income'. Each institution must determine what proportion, if any, of ALTC income from these programs is considered eligible as Category 2 income.
The ALTC Dissemination Framework has been prepared to help applicants to the various programs design effective dissemination strategies for projects and activities.
