Established and supported under the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Program, the Wheat CRC operated for 13 years, as Quality Wheat CRC from 1995-2001, and as Value Added Wheat CRC from 2001-2008. The Core Participants of VAWCRC were Allied Mills Australia Pty Ltd, Arnott's Biscuits Ltd, Bayer CropScience, the Grains Research & Development Corporation, NSW Department of Primary Industries, The Department of Agriculture and Food (WA) and The University of Sydney.

Quality Wheat CRC (QWCRC) had five research programs:

1. New Wheats and Breeding Aids
2. Growing and Storing Quality Wheat
3. Processing of Wheat and Wheat Products: Milling and Baking
4. Products from Wheat
5. Flour and Dough Components and their Interaction

Value Added Wheat CRC (VAWCRC) had five programs:

1. Diagnostics
2. Products and Processing
3. Genomics and Proteomics
4. Germplasm and Varieties
5. Education and Technology Transfer

The reports in the following collection are therefore prefixed with either “QWCRC” or “VAWCRC”. A listing of Wheat CRC papers published in refereed journals is also attached.
