$133m research boost
February 20, 2014
The Australian Government
has announced $133 million in
funding to support 153 grants
across five National Health and
Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
schemes.
The grants will address broad
areas of research, such as infections
in cancer patients, building
immunity and childhood eczema
and allergies.
The funding announcement
follows the $559.1 million for
new medical research discoveries
announced in October last year, and
aims to fill gaps in indigenous health.
“Health and medical research is
a major priority of the government
and these new grants will support
innovative projects aimed at finding
better treatments for common
diseases such as cancer, diabetes,
asthma, arthritis and cardiovascular
disease,” Mr Dutton said.
