The
NHMRC released a consultation paper on current and emerging issues – NHMRC
Fellowship Schemes on Thursday 2 April 2015.
Associate Dean (Research Strategy), Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Professor Matt Gillespie will
host a session on Tuesday 28 April 12:00 – 1:00 in Lecture Theatre S9
(16 Rainforest Walk), Clayton campus and this will be available by video links to
other sites.
This
session will discuss:
1. The
current activities that the Medical Research Endowment Account (MREA) supports
– such that there is an appreciation of the current constraints on the
MREA. Also, if there are suggestions of reallocation of support
within the MREA, the potential impacts may be more obvious.2. To promote discussion about the consultation paper, particularly each of the questions that are contained within the discussion paper, to inform individual submissions and a submission that I will prepare on behalf of the Faculty.
The
Consultation paper addresses Early Career, Career Development
and Research Fellowships, and the following four issues:
Issue 1: The balance is changing between the number of
research grants available and the number of Fellowships.
Issue 2: Is the structure of NHMRC fellowship schemes
still appropriate?
Issue 3: Should there be a stronger strategic approach to
granting Fellowships?
Issue 4: Responsibilities of employing institutions and
the health and medical research sector.
Feedback, through an online portal or by mail, is
required by 18 June 2015.
