Submission on improving alignment and coordination between the Medical Research Future Fund and Medical Research Endowment Account
The Australian Government is undertaking a sector-wide consultation on whether, and if so how, to reform the governance and administration of the MRFF and the MREA to ensure the Australian community obtains the greatest benefit from this investment in health and medical research. The government is seeking views on ways to optimise governance and administrative arrangements to support a more effective government health and medical research strategy.
CERI welcomes this opportunity to provide input into this consultation, which has the potential to improve equity in research funding and achieve greater impact in public funding for health and medical research.
