Have your say about the MRFF Research Mission program

Overview

We are seeking your views on the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Research Missions program.

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) is a $24.8 billion long-term investment supporting Australian health and medical research.

The Research Missions program is one of the four MRFF themes and is made up of the Indigenous Health Research Fund and the Australian Brain Cancer, Cardiovascular Health, Dementia, Ageing and Aged Care, Genomics Health Futures, Million Minds Mental Health Research, Stem Cell Therapies and Traumatic Brain Injury Missions.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing is conducting an evaluation of the MRFF Research Missions program (Evaluation).

The Evaluation will be a key piece of evidence informing the government on the future direction of the program and its funding.
