Poultry Hub Australia’s 2018 Successful Funding Announcement
Poultry Hub Australia has recently signed off the final round of grants that we have awarded this year. We had over 30 research groups who submitted preliminary proposals to be considered by our Industry Committee. Of these 10 were invited to submit full proposals. This year for a project to be considered it was crucial to have a direct industry collaboration and to demonstrate how the project would have impact in the poultry industry in the future.
We have invested over $500,000 in a range of exciting projects. In total we awarded 9 projects to researchers and their industry partners at five different Universities and Institutes; RMIT, University of Melbourne, PIRSA-SARDI, University of New England and The University of Adelaide. We look forward to seeing how their projects progress over the coming months and how their exciting research will impact our fantastic industry. Specific details of the projects, the lead researcher and their associated institutes are detailed below.
