Here’s a report by John Ross in @timeshighered.bsky.social on ARC Board’s proposal to change grant schemes ▶️ www.timeshighereducation.com/news/arc-gra... [Free login required] Both @scienceau.bsky.social's & I am worried about opportunities & unintended consequences for early-career researchers👇

Excerpt from the article. Black text on white background with a few links in blue text. Excerpt as follows:
“Under the ARC board’s proposals, most stand-alone fellowships would be replaced by “embedded fellowships” funded through other grant schemes and capped at two years. “Traditional four-year fellowships concentrate a significant amount of funds on a small number of individual researchers,” a discussion paper explains.
Observers fear this could inadvertently deny many ECRs a toehold in academia because current fellowship schemes such as the Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (Decra) and the mid-career Future Fellowships are available to researchers without positions at universities.
This could change under the proposals. The discussion paper implies that recipients of embedded fellowships must already be in “the university workforce” – suggesting that ECRs must obtain employment in the sector before gaining eligibility for ARC grants.
That is an “unrealistic” expectation, according to Sharath Sriram, president of Science and Technology Australia. “The assumption is all those who apply are already…in academic roles. That might have been true in the 1990s. It’s not the case anymore.
“There’s no stability of employment for people until they are six, seven years out of their PhDs. Universities often use success in grants and fellowships to determine who to employ.”
A researcher who monitors grant schemes, using the social media handle “ARC Tracker”, was unconvinced that the proposals would improve opportunities for ECRs.
They said changes to fellowship schemes needed to avoid closing “pathways” for young researchers and leaving them “overshadowed by the established group leaders”.
ARC Board chair Peter Shergold acknowledged the fellowship changes as one of the “stings in the tail” of his proposals, but said a primary goal of his reforms was “contributing to the development of the next generation of researchers”.

Do we behave differently when robots are watching? Fascinating stuff from @socialneuro.bsky.social at #ASP2024

Jacob Cohen never meant for his effect size thresholds to be used as a default across all fields. Calculate field-specific small, medium, and large effect size thresholds with our R package 📦

I’m really enjoying the new EOI process for Australian Research Council grants. I am spending more time thinking about the project and its pitch than I did under the old system. Good on ya, ARC!

Have you come across a recent review article about the Stanford marshmallow studies on delayed gratification? Failed replications, small effect sizes, and alternative explanations are scattered throughout the literature. Yet, the original conclusions seem to persist.
