Make no mistake.
Australian medical research is in crisis.
In his article, @jcarapetis echoes the alarm and discusses issues at the heart of the ASMR’s mission.
The sector is on the brink of collapse.
But we can fix it.
@ausgov, are you listening?
Here’s how:

We’ve been losing our skilled and talented researchers in recent years with an increasing brain drain due to a lack of funding.
#COVID19 has made this worse.

As @jcarapetis points out, eg. the @nhmrc funds only ~9% of research grant applications received from our future leaders.
And that’s not because the other 91% aren’t worthy of funding, but because @ausgov has ignored the funding recommendations of the 2012 McKeon review.

“The Government says … 62 per cent of employment growth in the next five years will be in health care, science and technology, education and construction.” In response, they’re reducing the fees associated with these degrees by up to 20%. abc.net.au/news/2020-06-1…
That’s great, but how will the health and medical research sector cope with all these new graduates when the @ausgov is currently unable to adequately support researchers and the sector?
We need increased investment into health and medical research, and researchers, to secure the existing workforce or there won’t be any labs, leaders, mentors and jobs for these proposed graduates.
