Australia's major government science body, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), plans to cut up to 25% of its research support staff during the next three years to save about $30 million (Australian) per year. Mike Whelan, the organization's chief financial officer, says the staff review and reduction will bring CSIRO in line with other comparable organizations. "We spend in the order of $985 million a year [in total expenditure] and about one-third of that is on support. In some cases we spend about double what others spend on support," he says.
