The Australian Competitive Grants Register (ACGR) was a centralised register that listed funding schemes that were approved by the Australian Government as being "competitive research grants" to Australian higher education providers. The ACGR was released for the last time in 2018 and is no longer updated as it has been replaced by a mechanism that allows universities to self-assess their research income.Self-Assessed Australian Competitive Grant Income.
