The explanation? Unsupported statements about \u201cvalue for taxpayers\u2019 money\u201d, and \u201cthe national interest\u201d.

It should determine funding parameters and areas of immediate priority, and clear rules, procedures and criteria. For example, the research should be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>original \u2013 don\u2019t re-invent the wheel<\/li>\n<li>significant \u2013 not just minor tweaks to existing understandings<\/li>\n<li>feasible \u2013 anyone can make grandiose claims, but funding requires a reasonable expectation of results<\/li>\n<li>of benefit \u2013 a positive impact on the field or society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These criteria have been at the core of ARC funding decisions for decades.<\/p>\n<p>But assessing these criteria is wickedly difficult. In particular, assessing value for money requires expertise: the expected benefit of research can be deep and very real, without being superficially visible. The ARC\u2019s College of Experts provides, and facilitates, this expertise.<\/p>\n<p>At least two college members assess each proposal, running to 50-100 pages, in detail. They read every word.<\/p>\n<p>College members also select four subject experts to assess each proposal. The members then meet over multiple days to discuss the applications in detail and make funding recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>By and large this arduous process, though imperfect, works. It taps both the expertise of college members \u2013 in assessing grants\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0in selecting detailed assessors \u2013 and of those assessors. The resulting funding recommendations represent the collective best judgment of world-leading minds and experience that Australia has proudly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dataportal.arc.gov.au\/ERA\/NationalReport\/2018\/\">cultivated over generations<\/a>.<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Australia: College of Experts members rebel over ministerial vetoes of ARC grants: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bQBRWgjVo2\">https:\/\/t.co\/bQBRWgjVo2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(paywalled story)<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jenny Sinclair (@JS_ResearchPro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JS_ResearchPro\/status\/1484301602135867392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 20, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Political meddling does lasting damage<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The minister spurned this in favour of a pub test.

But it also betrays ignorance of the complexity of assessing cutting-edge research and shows contempt for the expertise, time and diligent effort embodied in the college\u2019s recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Further, it compromises our capacity to assess in future. Will international leaders in their fields continue to give their time to assess applications knowing their recommendations may later be overturned on a ministerial whim?<\/p>\n<p>The damage to our international reputation is apparent. The minister\u2019s decision has been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/policy\/health-and-education\/robert-s-research-veto-attracts-international-condemnation-20220107-p59mjd\">condemned by international voices<\/a>\u00a0and numerous Australian bodies: the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/austms.org.au\/open-letter-to-the-minister\/\">Australian Mathematical Society<\/a>, members of the ARC\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aidansims.com\/OpenLetter.html\">College of Experts<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cse.unsw.edu.au\/~tw\/ARC\/index.html\">Australian Laureate Fellows<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/humanities.org.au\/news\/statement-from-the-aah-president-arc-funding-changes\/\">Australian Academy of Arts and Humanities<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Of course researchers must communicate the goals and value of publicly funded research to the public who fund it. The ARC has long published such benefit statements. But these statements, divorced from the nuance and detail in the applications, and from the expertise needed to understand their implications, cannot be the test for funding.<\/p>\n<p>Such meddling is unheard of in comparable democracies (like Canada, New Zealand, the UK, the US). Per Britain\u2019s Haldane Principle, once funding parameters, rules and assessment processes are set, the complex and wickedly hard decision as to which research represents the best mixture of originality, significance, feasibility and, yes, benefit should be left where it belongs: in the hands of experts.<\/p>\n<p>As mathematicians, we are not experts in the areas of the vetoed grants \u2013 we are the mythical \u201cpub-goers\u201d. So we trust the expertise of those who assessed them. We resigned from the College of Experts because we could not be complicit in a process that does otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong>Andrew Francis is Professor of Mathematics at Western Sydney University and Aidan Sims is Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Wollongong<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Christmas Eve 2021, the pub-test folly\u00a0struck again.
