The ARC has replaced Clause 25.3 of the ARC Funding Agreement for Linkage Projects

In particular, the ARC removed the requirement to provide a license for material to the Commonwealth. Clause 25.3 now states “The Administering Organisation must incorporate appropriate processes for the strategic management of Project IP in its governance.”

The new Funding Agreement can be viewed here: https://www.arc.gov.au/grants/grant-application/fundinggrant-agreements/linkage-program-fundinggrant-agreements.
