Medical Research Future Fund – clinical trial funding set to deliver significant benefits to Australian patients and the economy
The funding commitment for clinical trials and registries announced in this week’s Federal Budget is a major first step in realising the enormous potential of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) to save and improve the lives of millions of Australians.
The announcement reaffirms the Government’s commitment to achieving the MRFF capital target of $20 billion by 2020/21. In what can be seen as a win-win for patients and the economy, a total of $33 million to boost clinical trials activity in Australia was announced last night.
