Resource sharing

GRDC has developed a framework enable third party researchers, members of the public, and NVT participating breeders access to resources generated within the NVT program in a safe, secure, and authorised manner.

The NVT program is the largest independent co-ordinated trial network in the world, and the resources generated within the program are of significant value to Australian grain growers.

Enabling third party researchers’ access to NVT resources will further help GRDC deliver on its purpose of investing in Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.

NVT resources include the:

• NVT dataset
• access to NVT trial sites for research purposes
• NVT post-harvest grain samples.

The benefits of providing NVT resources to non-NVT research projects include:

• Improving the return on investment of NVT through supporting and enabling research & development, and commercial activities;
• Improving outcomes and accuracy of grains industry research investments;
• Improved efficiencies and reduced investment duplication in the grains R&D space.

• NVT Resource Sharing Key Requirements and Request Form (PDF)
• NVT Resource Sharing Key Requirements and Request Form (Word).

If approved, researchers will be required to sign an NVT Resource Sharing Licence Agreement (PDF).
