I was involved in two failed Humanities applications to the Australian Research Data Commons Platforms initiative so I am no doubt biased (and currently on holiday). But let me follow up this announcement with a remark to myself:

• Many, if not all successful grants are clearly deserved, but some read like core government functions (not that the govt is already funding these services but they should be).
• Labelled as part of HASS, it might seem that humanities is funded, but I don’t see any humanities-specific funding there (unless you count drones for archaeology, but frankly, that is funding for drones).
• It is very difficult to gain Humanities RI funding in Australia but hopefully reading the successful grants may help us in the future.
• We have a lot of work to do.
