NHMRC is making improvements to its grant funding program to ensure it continues to support the best Australian health and medical research and researchers.
The improvements aim to:

• provide opportunities for talented researchers at all career stages to contribute to the improvement of human health
• encourage greater creativity and innovation in research and
• minimise the burden on researchers of application and peer review so that researchers can spend more time producing high quality research.

In this webinar Professor Anne Kelso AO, CEO of NHMRC will outline peer review arrangements for NHMRC’s new grant program, following recent consultations.
