Monash leads Australia with over $12M in medical research funding
More than $12M has been awarded to 23 Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences research projects in Discovery Projects funding - the most for any Australian university - from the Australian Research Council (ARC).
The Honourable Dan Tehan, Federal Minister for Education, made the announcement on Friday.
The Discovery Projects scheme aims to grow knowledge and research capacity in Australia, supporting research that will provide economic, commercial, environmental and social benefits. The Linkage Program promotes national and international research partnerships between researchers and business, industry, community organisations and other publicly funded research agencies.
Discovery Projects funded across Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences include:
