Pharmacy Daily | New MRFF strategy

THE Federal Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Strategy has laid out the roadmap for addressing some of our biggest health issues, namely obesity, poor bone density and chronic back pain. National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding doubled in 2000 and again in 2005, Research Ausralia said. “As the organisation that has been championing health and medical research for the last 15 years, we can tell you the MRFF is a real game changer,” said Research Australia chair, Dr Christine Bennett. CEO of Research Australia, Nadia Levin said the MRFF Strategy’s vision of a health system informed by quality research was exactly what was needed. “Research Australia shares the Strategy’s vision of a health system fully informed by quality health and medical research,” said Levin. “By bringing transformative change to health and medical research we can produce better health outcomes, a stronger economy and a more effective and sustainable health system.” Levin said the publication of the Strategy was another critical milestone for the MRFF.
