• foster opportunities for postdoctoral researchers to pursue internationally competitive research in collaboration with organisations outside the higher education sector, targeting those who have demonstrated a clear commitment to high-quality research;
• provide outcome-oriented research training for high-calibre postgraduate research students; and
• produce a national pool of world-class researchers to meet the needs of the broader Australian innovation system.
