AMRAB develops the Australian Medical Research and Innovation Priorities every 2 years to inform government decisions on MRFF investments. In finalising the 12 priorities for 2024-2026, AMRAB considered:
- the burden of disease on the Australian community
- how to deliver practical benefits from medical research and innovation to as many Australians as possible
- how to ensure the MRFF complements and enhances other forms of financial assistance for medical research and innovation.
AMRAB also took into consideration:
- better alignment with the Australian Medical Research and Innovation Strategy 2021-2026
- the National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC) health priorities for 2024-2027
- feedback from the 2023 consultation on the alignment and coordination of the MRFF and the NHMRC’s Medical Research Endowment Account
- stakeholder feedback from a consultation in September 2024.
