Our impact
Metrics and key performance indicators that capture the success of the CBA's collaborations and networks include projects, publications, training, co-supervised students, knowledge exchange, and new funding opportunities.
A significant outcome of the CBA is leveraging new external funding opportunities via our activities and networks.
The CBA fosters engagement, collaboration and network creation through initiatives such as our Ignition Grants, Synthesis Groups and the Australian Biodiversity Discovery Facility.
Peer-reviewed publications are an important, measurable output of CBA Project, Synthesis Group and Workshop funding.
The CBA builds capacity and enhances collaboration and training opportunities by supporting external visiting scientists and co-supervised students.
A key goal of the CBA is to exchange knowledge, perspectives and challenges amongst scientists, managers and policy makers.
CBA annual and summary reports highlight the metrics and key performance indicators that capture our impact.
