AAMRI analysis: 2023 NHMRC Grant outcomes for the medical research sector
12 July 2024
AAMRI conducts analysis of NHMRC applications and grants awarded to the medical research institute sector, as these results are often not visible in the NHMRC’s publicly available outcomes data set. Their successes are often attributed to the organisation administering their grants, usually an affiliated university.
Read on for a summary of the AAMRI analysis completed for the 2023 NHMRC grant program (Investigator Grants, Ideas Grants, Synergy Grants and Clinical Trials and Cohort Studies) or access the full analysis.
Key analysis highlights:
AAMRI’s analysis on the outcomes of the 2023 NHMRC grant program has shown that the funded rates for the medical research institute sector were higher than the average funded rate for Investigator Grants, Ideas Grants, Synergy Grants and Clinical Trials and Cohort Studies.
Medical Research Institute researchers were awarded between 45% and 54% of all grants across the four schemes.
Medical Research Institute researchers were awarded $382.8 million in funding across the four schemes, representing over half (50.7%) of the total funding available in the 2023 round.
In the Medical Research Institute sector, women had lower funded rates compared to men for Investigator and Ideas Grants.
In the Medical Research Institute sector, women received almost $13 million more in Investigator Grant funding in 2023 compared to 2021, whereas men, received almost $40 million less in 2023 compared to 2021.
