Relief, Pain in Australia’s Science Budget 澳大利亚科研预算捉襟见肘 The limbo(很诡异的单词,怎么说好) is over for Australian researchers as grants are flowing once again. Over the past several tense weeks, the federal government froze all science grants while seeking to balance the nation’s budget. But the midyear budget released on 22 October had welcome relief: AUS $1.686 billion for the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council, and the Cooperative Research Centres. 自从科研经费再次源源不断下拨的时候,悬在澳大利亚科研工作者心中的石头才算落了地。过去紧张的几个星期中,联邦政府为了能够平衡国家财政预算,冻结了所有的科学研究拨款。但是10月22日的年中预算是一个极大的安慰:有16.86亿澳元拨给了澳大利亚研究学会,国家健康医疗学会和联合研究中心。 But the government is also reneging on a pledge to increase allotments for indirect costs, trimming AUS $499 million from the original Sustainable Research Excellence grants budget of the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. The move will effectively cap overhead funding(什么意思) rates at 30% over the next 4 years, instead of raising those rates from 20% to 50% by 2014 as originally promised. 然而,政府并没有兑现对非直接开销增加拨款的诺言,从原来对创新工业科研部可持续研究杰出资助预算中删减了4.99亿澳元。此外,还把运行经费比例在未来4年内限制在了30%,当初政府可是承诺在2014年之前要从20%增加到50%的。 University officials say they were counting on that money. “We can expect to struggle to provide our researchers with the level of support they require, and we will start losing them,” says James McCluskey, deputy vice-chancellor of research at the University of Melbourne. http://scim.ag/AusBudget 高校管理人员表示他们依赖于这部分资金,University of Melbourne 主管科研的执行副校长James McCluskey 说:“能想象到在提供研究者所需要的支持上面,我们会非常的吃力,而且我们会开始失去这些工作者。 |
