Proof of Concept Funding
The GRDC Proof of Concept Funding program focusses on research activities that provide critical information to give confidence in the potential concept or innovation and facilitates the scoping of future research and development. Proof of concept activities are a critical step in the development of any innovation. It is at this stage that the feasibility of an innovative concept is tested through experimentation or pilot projects. Proof of concept projects are usually time-sensitive, relatively low in capital and set the scene for future research and development, typically involving a significant increase in the financial resources as well as technical sophistication required to take the innovation all the way to adoption and impact.

NGN Water quality impacts on herbicide efficacy
The quality of water used in spraying operations is essential for achieving optimal weed control in cropping systems. Reduced herbicide efficacy can significantly contribute to herbicide resistance in weeds and negatively affect profitability if spray applications do not effectively reduce the weed population. Enhancing growers' understanding of water quality test results will enable them to make more informed weed management decisions, which could involve either improving water quality or making appropriate herbicide choices. This issue has been raised by growers at Northern Region NGN forums in 2023 and 2024 and is a matter of concern.

GRDC International Visiting Fellowships Program 2025/26
GRDC International Visiting Fellowships Program (IVFP) is targeted at supporting Australian grains researchers connect with new partners by providing more opportunities for talented young international researchers to engage with talented early/mid-career Australian researchers.This will be achieved by bringing international research talent to Australia on a sabbatical program to bolster grains-focussed national and regional research efforts targeted at predominantly GRDC prioritised pillars. The IVFP will facilitate improved connection of the best early and mid-career researchers in Australia and overseas to ensure enduring global scientific networks that promote the transfer of knowledge and technology for the benefit of the Australian grains industry.Further, the GRDC IVFP would addresses a current gap available for Australian travel awards with the Fulbright program targeting researchers at a more junior level or senior level (Scholar Awards), and other programs targeting established researchers at a more senior level than the proposed GRDC IVFP.
