What are Cooperative Research Centres? The Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program is an Australian Government initiative that was established in 1990 and funds industry-led collaborations between industry, researchers and end users. The CRC Program links researchers with industry and government with a focus towards research application, and offers support through two elements: • Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) grants – supporting
medium to long term industry-led collaborations, up to 10 years.
• Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grants – supporting short term, industry-led collaborative research, up to 3 years.
