Refresh of the MRFF Assessment Criteria (October 2022) – MRFF has refined the descriptors for the criteria used to assess MRFF grant applications to ensure the MRFF supports the highest quality health and medical research to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians, and better support applicants and assessors to submit and review applications.

Australian Medical Research and Innovation Priorities 2022-2024 came into effect on 6 Nov 2022. These Priorities were developed to inform Government decisions on MRFF investments in health and medical research. The 2022-24 Priorities superseded the Australian Medical Research and Innovation Priorities 2020-2022, which were in force until 5 November 2022.
