Australia NCRIS — $7 returned per $1 invested

Australia's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy program returns $7 for every $1 invested (S-0106).

The case is the strongest available cross-domain anchor for research-infrastructure ROI in a national-scale program. NCRIS funds research infrastructure across multiple disciplines (not just biomedical or physics), making the 7:1 return a generalist measurement rather than a specialist outlier.

The figure sits in the middle of the documented ROI cluster (5:1 to 26:1, plus PDB at 800:1). It supports C-0031's claim that ROI on research data infrastructure is positive across disciplines, not just within the well-known high-multiple domains.
