New funding & collaborations
An important function of the CBA is leveraging funding opportunities from our project seed funding and the collaborations enabled by our networks across the ANU, CSIRO and University of Canberra.
Collaborations enabled by CBA seed funding and network creation across ANU, CSIRO and University of Canberra have leveraged over $28M in external funding opportunities (2013-23).
