The ARC awarded $212,900 from 1993-1995 for human impact in eastern Australia, and National Geographic contributed US$5570 in 1993 for field expenses at Cuddie Springs. In 1993, the Toyota Foundation granted US$35,000 for research on Fais, Micronesia. Several AINSE grants in the early 1990s supported dating projects, including $15,600 for stick-nest rat middens from central Australia and $16,076 for training Aboriginal people for fieldwork at Cuddie Springs.

Major infrastructure grants from the ARC were awarded throughout the mid-1990s, including $265,000 in 1994 and 1995 for AMS dating facilities, and $300,000 in 1996 and 1997 for further AMS dating research. Collaborative international projects also received funding, such as NZ$125,000 from the Marsden Fund, New Zealand, in 1997 for research on the Solomon Islands. In 1998, the ARC Large Grant of $148,000 was awarded for environmental history research at the Yallalie meteor impact structure in SW Australia.

The late 1990s and early 2000s saw continued ARC funding, including a $1,000,000 RIEF grant in 1999 for a new AMS dating facility, and a $380,000 Discovery Grant in 2002 for high-resolution records of climate change in Australia. The Marsden Fund granted NZ$575,000 in 2003 for geoarchaeology in the Solomon Islands, and in 2004, an ARC Discovery Grant of $107,500 funded research on human impact and environmental change in the Lower Yangtze Delta, China. From 2006 onwards, substantial ARC Linkage Grants were awarded, including $379,276 for Aboriginal landscape transformations in south-west Australia and $480,000 in 2013 for dating Aboriginal rock art in the Kimberley region, WA.
