Half the funding. Half the future.
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) was meant to deliver $1B a year — only $650M is reaching researchers.
Join the call to release the full MRFF.

The MRFF should be delivering $1B/yr for medical breakthroughs, as advised by its expert Board. But in 2024–25, just $408M was released – even less than the $650M we expected. That’s not a shortfall. It’s a broken promise.

The award is open to eligible early-career researchers employed at an AAMRI member institute.

Applications close Wednesday 18 June 2025.

"Without people, research cannot happen. The reduction in our ability to fund the full salary costs of our talented researchers means that we are at great risk of losing them to international competitors or losing them from the sector completely."

We can't work out why funds designated to medical research can't be released from the MRFF. So we animated it 👇.

Share this & help AAMRI secure the election promise that these unspent funds, that are allocated and available, will be released. #standupforscience2025 #election2025

Thank you to Andrew Wilkie MP, the current independent sitting Member for Clark for his support for the AAMRI 2025 Election Statement

"I agree that the Australian Government should prioritise investment in and support for world-class healthcare research."

“While our medical research institutes work hard to address the funding gap through fundraising and philanthropy, commercial income and other sources of funding, it is not enough."
