Contribution modelling

Model what a contribution delivers

An indicative projection using the same unit economics the secretariat applies when budgeting a new award. Actual reach is confirmed against a co-designed results framework.

The model applies AAHRED's audited FY2025 programme expenditure ratio of 92.4%, meaning 92.4 cents of every dollar reaches direct delivery. Figures are indicative and not a contractual commitment.

Co-principal-investigator arrangements with universities and research institutes, including shared authorship, data-sharing agreements and student placements.
