The Linkage Infrastructure Equipment Facilities (LIEF) application for a distributed research data store for NSW has been submitted to the Australian Research Council. LE100100100 finally ran to 173 pages. The application makes a strong case with solid contributions from all Intersect members plus the University of Western Sydney (UWS), and an impressive lineup of Chief Investigators (CIs). Many thanks go to Prof Marc Wilkins from UNSW, who as Lead CI shouldered the intellectual burden of the application.
