The funding, which I am announcing, is a significant injection in the future careers and research capabilities of Australian research staff.It comes on top of the comprehensive education initiatives outlined by the Prime Minister recently to invest $370 million in Australia’s universities, double the number of undergraduate and post-graduate scholarships, and introduce 1,000 mid-career research fellowships to help keep academics in Australia. We are committed to ensuring that Australia’s best and brightest researchers have sufficient support and financial assistance to continue to work at the forefront of their fields. We will also ensure that all Australians have access to the best possible research in relation to the critical health and medical conditions facing them today."
