The Australian Egg Corporation Limited (AECL) makes investments in Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) on behalf of the Australian egg industry. We must, therefore, provide excellent outcomes, and excellent value for money.
AECL continues to strongly support basic and applied research through an open proposal round. This part of the program represents approximately 40-50% of the total R&D budget.
Preliminary proposals from interested research bodies are submitted to meet key research priorities set by AECL. The proposals are then assessed by the On Farm Innovation and Efficiency Industry Consultative Committee.
For details on how our funding process works, please see the Apply for funding page.
The following is a list of some our current R,D&E projects:

Any organisation, company or individual is eligible for support to undertake R&D activity that addresses AECL's key long term and immediate research priorities.
if you believe you or your organisation have an idea that could maximise benefits and revenue for the industry and minimise costs, please apply for funding.
