Meet The Team

The AusTraits project received investment from 2021-2023 from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). The ARDC is funded by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). This funding allows a broad team of ARDC grant partners to expand AusTraits data coverage and enhance data quality.
