Notes:

  1. Column A lists the funding levels by science area in the Foundation’s “Transitional Funding Strategy”. These figures are directionally consistent with the funding targets in the 1992 Priority Statement and have had technical corrections applied.

  2. Column B lists additional funding to be applied to particular science areas to maintain core capabilities in the science system. More specific details as to how this funding is to be applied are as follows:

Science Area 94/95 ($000) 95/96 ($000) Additional Topics Areas Data-base NSS Core Capability
Generic Animals 221 201 Rumen physiology; Possums * * *
Forestry, wood and paper 139 121 Indigenous forest *
processing management
Geological structures and 100 -50 Palaeontology * *
processes
Landuse, flora and fauna 309 294 Terrestrial biosystematics * * *
Marine and fresh waters 206 179 Marine taxonomy; * * *
Hydrology
Climate and atmosphere 65 65 Trace gases * *

| TOTAL | 1040 | 810 | | | | |

  1. Column C lists additional funding to be applied to high priority outputs as a result of increases to the PGSF announced in the 1994 Budget. This funding is to be expended in a manner consistent with the Research Strategies for the relevant Science Areas.

  2. Column D shows how the “entry fee” of $10.668m from the universities is to be applied across science areas in 1995/96. The distribution is the average of the actual funding levels allocated to the universities in the 1993/94 and 1994/95 funding rounds.

  3. Column E shows technical adjustments arising from:

  • transfer of funds from the PGSF to the new Basic Science Fund. $1,859,000 is to be transferred from the Space/Fundamental knowledge science output. (See Annex V).
  • transfer of funds from the Space/Fundamental Knowledge outputs (34/36) to other PGSF outputs. (See Annex V).
  • transfer of funding equal to the amount awarded to the Carter Observatory in 1994/95, out of the PGSF, pending audit of activities previously supported by this funding. The amount transferred is $390,000. (See Annex V).
