Grant Assessing ONI
The Office of National Intelligence's (ONI) role is to ensure Australia has an agile, integrated intelligence enterprise that will meet the challenges of Australia’s evolving security environment.
ONI was formed in late 2018 and represents a key component – and milestone – in the formation of Australia’s new National Intelligence Community (NIC). ONI is responsible for the enterprise level management of the NIC and ensures a single point of accountability to the Prime Minister and National Security Committee of Cabinet.
The Office of National Intelligence, on behalf of the National Intelligence Community, established the NISDRG program in response to the 2017 Independent Intelligence Review’s Science, Technology and Innovation recommendations.
The Office of National Intelligence currently funds 19 projects through the NISDRG Program.
For funding commencing in 2025, the Office of National Intelligence (ONI) will provide funding under the new National Intelligence Discovery Grants (NIDG) program to reflect a refined focus on the Intelligence Challenges.
