Medical Research Future Fund Australian Brain Cancer Mission - National Consultation on the refreshed Roadmap and Implementation Plan

Closes 20 Dec 2024

Opened 8 Nov 2024

Overview

The Australian Brain Cancer Mission is investing $126.4 million over 10 years from 2017-18 to support research into brain cancer. This consists of $50 million from the Australian Government through the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and $76.4 million to date in commitments from the Funding Partners. 

The Mission will make investments in research to achieve transformative improvement to the quality and length of life of people with brain cancer, with the longer term aim of defeating brain cancer.

An Expert Advisory Panel was appointed in April 2024 to advise on the strategic priorities for research investment through the Mission by refreshing the Mission's Roadmap and developing an Implementation Plan. The Mission's existing Roadmap was published in July 2019. 

The Mission’s Roadmap is a high level strategic document that includes the aim, vision, goal and priorities for investment for the Mission. To support the Roadmap, the Implementation Plan outlines the priorities for investment, evaluation approaches and measures, supporting activities, and collaborative opportunities.

The refreshed Roadmap and Implementation Plan will be used by the Department to design and implement Mission investments via Grant Opportunities promoted through GrantConnect.

Please note: late submissions cannot be accepted for this consultation. 

Give us your views and help inform the future of the Australian Brain Cancer Mission.
