Subprograms and Other Initiatives

On occasion, it becomes evident that a planned research and development outcome could be achieved more successfully if a number of related projects were managed more intensively by employing higher levels of coordination, integration and communication than for individual projects. In that event the FRDC, either on its own initiative or at the request of a stakeholder group, establishes a managed subprogram. An example is the Rock Lobster Enhancement and Aquaculture Subprogram.

Formation of a managed subprogram provides a higher level of service in project management. The role of managed subprograms is to:

• develop strategic plans for research and development that take into account other strategic plans, and subsequently maintain strategic directions and be responsive to changing circumstances;

• set research and development priorities to maximise investment in that field, avoid duplication and achieve the greatest potential return;

• invite research and development applications to address those priorities;

• maximise collaboration between researchers, and between researchers, fisheries managers and fishing industry interests;

• attract other research and development funding and influence the way in which other funding entities apply their investments in that field;

• standardise on the best scientific methods;

• communicate regularly with potential beneficiaries; and

• influence the adoption of research and development results.

Current subprograms are:

• Abalone Aquaculture
• Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture
• Aquaculture Nutrition
• Aquatic Animal Health
• Effects of Trawling
• Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) Reporting and Assessment
• Rock Lobster Post Harvest
• Rock Lobster Enhancement & Aquaculture
• Southern & Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishing Industry Development
• Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) Aquaculture
