The $41 million Victoria's Science Agenda (VSA) Investment Fund provides competitive grants to business and research organisations for co-investment in partnerships that strengthen Victoria’s science and technology capabilities and translate these to market outcomes.

The VSA Investment Fund builds on past achievements of the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Initiative which have resulted in the establishment of world-class science and technology infrastructure, attracting leading international researchers and boosting economic competitiveness.

To harness this capability and assist in the translation of research discoveries and ideas into new solutions that allow future challenges to be overcome, the VSA Investment Fund will support market focused projects that deliver economic, environmental and/or health benefits.
Nature of assistance

Up to $41 million is available in 2009/2010 for collaborative projects between business and research organisations that strengthen Victoria's science and technology capabilities and deliver tangible outcomes in the areas of productivity, sustainability and/or health.

Grants of between $300,000 and $3 million will be provided for eligible projects. The funding must be matched on at least a 1:1 basis by the applicant(s), with at least 50% of the matching funds being a cash contribution.

Government funding will be provided over two or three years.  Projects are expected to commence no later than January 2010.

Eligible Applicants

VSA Investment Fund grants are available to collaborative ventures (public/private, public/public or private/private) between organisations including, but not limited to:

•   Private companies (large and small)
•   Industry associations
•   Co-operative Research Centres
•   Universities and other post-secondary educational institutions
•   Research institutes
•   Public not-for-profit organisations
•   Victorian Government agencies and other Government agencies active in Victoria.

If the venture involves private sector organisations only, at least three businesses must be participants so benefits are delivered more widely across the industry sector.  For example, this could be via ongoing skills development or shared intellectual property.
