RIRDC produces Research in Progress summaries of continuing projects and those completed
during 2008-2009. 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
