The new @NHMRC Council is out, led by the fabulous Prof Caroline Homer AO. Disappointing there is no representation by #biomedicalresearchers or #EMCRs, fundamental discovery science is a critical aspect of "building a healthy Australia"

Thanks to @ARC_Tracker who did a better job than the ARC keeping researchers in Australia informed about all things ARC

If your #NHMRC ideas grant was unsuccessful and you have a story to share about the impact of this on your #biomedicalresearch, career, team - get in touch. Federal DOH have asked #NARF to collect stories of impact of low funding. #SaveOzScience #DiscoveriesNeedDollars #EMCRs

The #NHMRC proposed changes to Investigator Grant and Synergy Grant schemes. Thoughts welcome. #EMCR #biomedicalresearch #researchimpact https://t.co/7xcKwShmkk

Consider nominating - we need representation from across the biomedical research sector

NARF was actively involved in consultation re harmonisation of MRFF/NHMRC. Thanks 🙏 to the Exec for embracing change. We need sector-wide rep on the committees 👇that will inform the new health and medical research ecosystem, #biomedicalscientists #EMCRs https://t.co/oIkmUEUVZH

Report ⬇️from the first round of consultations regarding harmonisation of MRFF & NHMRC are out. Please feel free to get in touch with further feedback we can provide on behalf of members #NHMRC #MRFF #biomedicalresearch https://t.co/6xVtgwXMOF

Thinking of all who received good and bad news with their #nhmrc #investigatorgrants today under embargo today. To even be in a position to solicit one is amazing 💙

Summary of our Exec meeting with the office of the Federal Health Minister, also sent to members’ mailboxes https://t.co/hwGHKskuTf

Next week the NARF executive have a 30 minute meeting with the office of the Federal Health Minister. What are the most pressing issues facing our members and the sector #medicalresearch #MRFF #NHMRC

NARF has reached out to the NHMRC on behalf of members and the sector. Hopefully we get some clarity regarding Investigator Grant outcomes soon so that time isn’t wasted by researchers on Ideas Grant submissions, it’s also an issue for collaborations 🤞#grantwritingseason

Incredibly courageous and bold support of Australian Medical Research by @SnowMedical and the Snow Family which will improve the health of Australians and the world. Such a good day 👏👩‍🔬

Congrats to those successful with NHMRC investigator grants today, also thinking of the hundreds that were unsuccessful - the disappointment, frustration, sadness, anger. NARF will keep on advocating for greater investment in biomedical research 🔬 🧑🏽‍🔬🧬 🐁 🦠 🧫 🩸 💉💊🥼🧪👩🏻‍💻

NARF have continued to advocate for clear timelines for grant outcomes and doing away with embargo! We recently put this issue to @gedkearney at a roundtable discussing MRFF & NHMRC harmonisation. #cleariskind Thoughts with all those researchers waiting on #NHMRC IG outcomes….
