Tenders

Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) is establishing a program within the Livestock Genetics research sector to build advanced research capabilities, alongside professional development. This program will be supported by the National Livestock Genetics Consortium (NLGC) and MLA, who are requesting project proposals to answer research questions from early career individuals working in livestock genetics research with the capability to undertake research, development and adoption (RD&A) activities in the Livestock Genetics sector. The aim is that alongside fostering development and capability in industry, the outcomes of the projects will be in line with the priorities of the NLGC and industry genetic progress. 

This program is designed to target post-doctoral researchers, final year PhD candidates or early career individuals looking to pursue a research career, with a focus on livestock genetics R&D in the red meat industry. There will be four positions available within the program. 

The primary aim of the NLGC is to increase the rate of genetic progress achieved for traits that drive value chain productivity and sustainability in the sheep and beef industries. The Terms of Reference (ToR) is based on the RD&A priorities from the NLGC, NLGC Strategy to 2030 as well as the MLA Strategic Plan 2030 and Red Meat 2030.

This request for tender is in response to NABRC’s 2024 priority to reduce losses from pregnancy test to weaning. MLA are calling for proposals that focus on adoption projects that work with producers to improve calf survival from heifers in the Northern Forest and Northern Downs.  

The proposed project may be funded fully through grassfed levy, co-investment through the MLA Donor Company (MDC) at a maximum leverage ratio of 50:50, or a hybrid combination of the two funding streams.

Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and the Goat Industry Research, Development and Adoption Committee (GIRDAC) are calling for full applications from prospective service providers to design, develop and deliver a goat-specific transport education package targeted at key stakeholders across the transport supply chain (e.g. producers, transporters, agents, saleyard/depot operators, buyers, processors etc.).

The successful project will be funded via the goat levy or hybrid (goat levies and MLA Donor Company) funding streams. For projects to be funded, they must be recommended for funding by GIRDAC prior to progressing through the MLA governance process. Find more information on the goat levy funding system here.
