The Australian Government is committed to ensuring health and medical research investment delivers the greatest benefit to the community while driving long-term economic sustainability.
To optimise the government’s investment in health and medical research, the Department of Health and Aged Care and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) are undertaking national consultation to improve alignment and coordination between the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and Medical Research Endowment Account (MREA).
This national consultation will help to identify ways to improve the strategic alignment and coordination between the two funds. Potential models for reform include:
The Discussion Paper provides further details on these potential models and guiding questions to inform your response.
To ensure a diverse range of voices inform this consultation, we invite all stakeholders to make a written submission by 11.59pm Friday 14 July.
For enquiries, please contact HMRconsultations@health.gov.au.
Your input to this consultation is important and will be used to develop options for shaping the future of the MRFF and MREA. We are interested in hearing from all stakeholders, including research, industry, consumers, health services and philanthropy.
We will prepare and publish a report that summarises feedback received through the consultation process.
