Premier’s Science and Research Fund

Fund Objectives

The Premier’s Science and Research Fund (PSRF), incorporating the Sustainable Energy Research Grants Program (formerly known as SENRAC), is an initiative of the South Australian Government and the Premier’s Science and Research Council (PSRC). The fund was established to facilitate investment in key science and research initiatives of strategic and sustainable value to the State. It aims to make transformational investments that have a demonstrable potential to generate significant and sustainable economic, social and/or environmental benefits for the State.

The fund can inject a total of up to $4.2 million per annum into new and continuing strategic R&D initiatives. Applications are assessed on a competitive basis, to optimise the contribution made through the Government’s investments to the objectives and targets of South Australia’s Strategic Plan (refer www.SAplan.org.au) and the 10-Year Vision for Science, Technology and Innovation in South Australia (STI¹⁰) and hence to the South Australian community as a whole.
