For example, in 1993, of 1682 large grants, 1655 went to universities, twelve to research institutions, ten museums and two to individuals, while ninety-three of the research fellowships were to universities and twelve to research institutions - a mechanism that did allow temporary appointment of non-affiliated scholars (Australian Research Council, Report on Research Funding Programs 1993 [AGPS Canberra 1994]). In the 2000 round, with 1326 grants, from 661 large grants two went to museums, twelve to institutes (and none to individuals) and of the 100 fellowships, one was to a museum and two were to institutes (and none to independents).
