The School
of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health (SCS) received $6.5 million to lead 11 research
projects in this week’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
funding announcement.
Announced yesterday,
the Minister for Health Susan Ley MP said the funding will support 836 new
research grants worth more than $630 million.
“NHMRC funding remains both the most
prestigious and most important source of research funding in Australian medical
research,” said Head of the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health
Professor Eric Morand.
“The continued success of SCS researchers
highlights the strength of collaborative research at this precinct.”
“We have had success across the multiple
domains of our research this year. However, falling national funding success
rates mean that many outstanding researchers did not have positive outcomes
this year and we need to work together to support those unlucky this year to
succeed in future rounds,” added Professor Morand.
Medical researchers at Monash
University attracted a total of $76.9 million dollars in funding from the NHMRC,
ranked second in
Australia in project grants and third for the total amount funded in this
year’s round.
The 114 NHMRC-funded projects range across a number of categories, including public health, clinical medicine and science, and basic science.
