TOTAL INCOME $1,185,116
Institutional Grants Scheme (IGS) (and associated University contribution) and RIBG are awarded
on a calculation based on activity level (principally NCG income) of the previous two years. RIBG is
awarded solely on NCG grant activity.
Total income was similar to 2007, and down on the previous four years, due largely to decreases in
National Competitive Grants (completion of several large HAL grants and an ACIAR project) (Table
9, Figure 1). Our RIBG allocation as a % of that gained by CQU was down from 78% in 2005, to
55% in 2006 up to 72% in 2007, and then down to 28% in 2008.
