3.5.3.4 Research Income and Support The School of Music supports its research through a variety of external and internal mechanisms. Raw grant income figures do not paint a complete picture of the School’s ability to support its research. Like other Humanities disciplines, certain kinds of music research require little in terms of funding to be successful. Similarly, the vast majority of individual creative works outputs are funded by various forms of unregistered or in-kind support due to that research usually being conducted via collaboration with arts industry organisations in arts industry settings. Challenges to research income and support include COVID-19 impacting the renegotiation or abandonment of projects and partnerships, loss of senior research staff, and concerns over the handling of Australian Research Council (ARC) quality assessment and funding schemes, particularly for HASS disciplines, leading to a recently announced review of the body. Additionally, a number of our researchers have taken opportunities for periods of extended leave in the wake of COVID-19 to reconnect with family members, including overseas. This has had an impact on grant applications and other research activity.
