"Many of Australia’s leading health and medical researchers have reason to celebrate today (10/11/08) at the announcement of $132 million in National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Program Grants and Fellowships, as well as the NHMRC European Union Collaborative Health Research Grants. From teaching hospitals to universities and specialist institutions, essential medical research happens in a variety of environments in Australia. Today’s grants and fellowships encourage the progress of medical research on a large and small scale, wherever it is carried out. Eight new Program Grants, totalling $73 million, will allow outstanding researchers to lead large teams at universities or institutes to focus on broad research areas, such as mental health, diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
