The overall aims of the IPP are to:
• Attract and stimulate graduates with an in- terest in pork production into the business side of the industry as a career, while continuing their development and under- standing of how research and technology will en- hance industry competi- tiveness and success
Applications must be lodged electronically by the applying business or- ganisation, and include the name and qualifica- tions of the proposed candidate, to the APRIL chief scientist and chief executive officer Dr John Pluske at j.pluske@april. org.au or 0410 436871.
Information relating the IPP requirements and the application form can be found at apri.com.au/ education/
• Retain graduates trained by APRIL, the Pork CRC, Australian Pork Limited and other applicable organisations, at the honours or post- graduate level, and attract others to the Australasian pork industry by spon- soring their placement in a commercial pork production organisation or an affiliated business within the Australasian

• Expose graduates wanting a long-term re- search or technical sup- port role in the industry to commercial aspects of pork production and enhance their contribu- tions and value to pork businesses in their future roles.
Any questions on the IPP award or process can also be directed to Dr John Pluske.
APRIL is often con- tacted by researchers with very innovative ideas seeking instant feedback, with the view to submitting a project for funding.
Usually the advice is to canvas your idea to industry stakeholders, and this takes time with responses often varied.

Momentum can be lost and the idea put aside, which is not a good out- come.
Hence APRIL's concept of providing an industry based advisory panel to assess and explore the proposed novel concept and then provide the in- novator with direct feed- back.
The APRIL Commer- cialisation Advisory Panel consists of industry leaders with vast experi- ence in all facets of pork production, applied re- search and commerciali- sation.
ACAP is chaired by Dr Gerard Davis of BioInfo Consulting and Invest- ment, and panel members are Dr Rob van Barn- eveld, Mr Kenton Shaw of SunPork Farms, Dr Cherie Collins, Mr David Henman of Rivalea Aus- tralia and Mr Neil Fer- guson of Westpork.
The panel met for the first time in March this year to assess a possible project involving the ap- plication of the internet of things and accompa- nying support platforms.
This is a rapidly growing area and the availability of new tech- nologies could provide opportunities across the industry.
The panel is expected to meet approximately four times per year, and re- searchers and innovators are encouraged to contact commercialisation and research impact manager Dr Charles Rikard-Bell at c.rikardbell@april.org. au or 0439 513 723.
