A DMer reports that the ARC have said Linkage Projects and Laureate Fellowships outcomes won't be announced this week. Nor is it likely that even a schedule for those announcements will be published this week. What on earth is going on there??

Been looking at these ARC changes. If they go through - as early as next year - I assume this means DE26 & FT26 will be the last time these schemes run. If that's the case - big decision for people putting in this yr, that's a lot of work for only one chance at the schemes (rather than the usual 3)
