National Association Research Fellows

NARF represents recipients of NHMRC Fellowships and Investigator Grants and Fellows funded by other health and medical research schemes

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

The new @NHMRC Council is out, led by the fabulous Prof Caroline Homer AO. Disappointing there is no representation by #biomedicalresearchers or #EMCRs, fundamental discovery science is a critical aspect of "building a healthy Australia" https://t.co/BEWq4IwZdY

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

If your #NHMRC ideas grant was unsuccessful and you have a story to share about the impact of this on your
#biomedicalresearch, career, team - get in touch. Federal DOH have asked #NARF to collect stories of impact of low funding.

@MattDun17 Would you be willing to share your story with government? NARF have been asked to collate stories from the trenches?

[Julie Redfern AM ♡ @JRedHeart]

Thinking of all who received good and bad news with their #nhmrc #investigatorgrants today under embargo today. To even be in a position to solicit one is amazing 💙

Huge congrats to those awarded NHMRC investigator grants. To the many outstanding and excellent applicants who missed out, we stand committed to fighting the good fight and advocating for increased funding and more robust peer review; and the doing away with embargoes

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

NARF Exec were thrilled to meet with Clare Firth, Deputy Chief of Staff to Minister @Mark_Butler_MP & advisor on med research. We discussed the #MRFF & #NHMRC consultation, the need for urgent ⬆️💲in #biomedicalresearch and ARC, and embargoes. We look forward to deeper engagement

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

Next week the NARF executive have a 30 minute meeting with the office of the Federal Health Minister. What are the most pressing issues facing our members and the sector #medicalresearch #MRFF #NHMRC

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

NARF has reached out to the NHMRC on behalf of members and the sector. Hopefully we get some clarity regarding Investigator Grant outcomes soon so that time isn’t wasted by researchers on Ideas Grant submissions, it’s also an issue for collaborations 🤞#grantwritingseason

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

Incredibly courageous and bold support of Australian Medical Research by @SnowMedical and the Snow Family which will improve the health of Australians and the world.

Such a good day 👏👩‍🔬

[Snow Medical @SnowMedical]

Congrats to those successful with NHMRC investigator grants today, also thinking of the hundreds that were unsuccessful - the disappointment, frustration, sadness, anger. NARF will keep on advocating for greater investment in biomedical research

[National Association Research Fellows @FellowsNational]

NARF have continued to advocate for clear timelines for grant outcomes and doing away with embargo! We recently put this issue to @gedkearney at a roundtable discussing MRFF & NHMRC harmonisation. #cleariskind
Thoughts with all those researchers waiting on #NHMRC IG outcomes….

[Nick Everett @neuronick_]

we need an @ NHMRC_tracker to put pressure on @nhmrc Investigator announcements 😬 the random interval schedule of punishment that is "late Aug/early Sept" isn't great.
