the associated MRFF Priority Round. An important change is a definition of clinician researcher has now been provided.

You can find this on page 16, under section 4.1.1. *'For the purposes of this grant opportunity, a clinician researcher is a health professional (including allied health professionals) who works directly with patients to do research on health and disease and to develop new treatments.'*
