GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES

In reply to Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (26 June 2013).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts): I have been advised of the following:

State development provides a small number of grants to encourage our universities to develop closer research and development links with international universities and companies and to increase their capacity in key industries. In the past year these grants included assistance for:

Advanced manufacturing—photo electrodes for the generation of solar fuels, submitted by Professor Thomas Nann from the University of South Australia.

High resolution label free peptide and lipid quantification in tissue and bio fluids by mass spectrometry, submitted by Peter Hoffman from the University of Adelaide.

Optimisation of protocols for quality assessment of biosolids for agricultural application, submitted by Professor Chris Saint from the University of South Australia.

Functional characterisation of knee articular prostheses, submitted by Professor Karen Reynolds from Flinders University.

Recipients in 2013-14 will be determined later in the year and are decided in conjunction with DFEEST.
