Our re-bid

The CRCNPB has a lifespan of seven years, with a finishing date of 30 June 2012. Through the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research's (DIISR) CRC Program, we are eligible to rebid for another term of up to eight years.

The Board and Participants of the CRC for National Plant Biosecurity agreed to support the development of a rebid proposal based on a plant biosecurity cooperative research centre. This rebid was submitted to DIISR's CRC Program before 1 July 2011.

On 22 November 2011 the Plant Biosecurity Cooperative Research Centre (PBCRC) received the positive news that the rebid was successful. PBCRC received 93% of the funding sought, for six years starting from 1 July 2012.
