$132 million in National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Program Grants and Fellowships, as well as the NHMRC European Union Collaborative Health Research Grants was announced on Monday 10 November.

As quoted from the media release:

From teaching hospitals to universities and specialist institutions, essential medical research happens in a variety of environments in Australia. Today’s grants and fellowships encourage the progress of medical research on a large and small scale, wherever it is carried out.

Eight new Program Grants, totalling $73 million, will allow outstanding researchers to lead large teams at universities or institutes to focus on broad research areas, such as mental health, diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

The funding allows research teams five years to pursue the best research options in their field, knowing they can respond to unexpected findings and opportunities.

Another 80 of our best and brightest researchers will be able to pursue their careers in their areas of interest through 2009 NHMRC Research Fellowships. Their work in clinical medicine and science, public health, basic science and health services research may result in findings that are of major importance in their field and of significant benefit to Australian health and medical research.
