10 August 2015
Sydney Medical School Dean Professor Bruce Robinson has been named chair of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australia’s leading expert body promoting the development and maintenance of public and individual health standards.
NHMRC brings together within a single national organisation the functions of research funding and development of advice. One of its strengths is that it draws upon the resources of all components of the health system, including governments, medical practitioners, nurses and allied health professionals, researchers, teaching and research institutions, public and private program managers, service administrators, community health organisations, social health researchers and consumers.
NHMRC’s priority actions, as set out in the NHMRC Strategic Plan 2013-15 tabled in the Australian Parliament on 18 January 2013, are to
create new knowledge through support of discovery research;
accelerate research translation;
build Australia’s future capability for research and translation;
set high standards in ethics in health care and research; and
work with partners – States and Territories, health bodies, health industries and community and consumer groups.
