RIRDC produces Research in Progress summaries of continuing projects and those completed during 2007-2008. Our intention is to:
• give stakeholders early access to the results of ongoing and completed work to inform their decisions, and
• to inform researchers of results to shape research directions.
The complete report on all programs is on our website at http://www.rirdc.gov.au
