Did you know: When a research grant is awarded, the administering institution has to find an extra 20-40% of the value of the grant to cover overheads, simply so the research can proceed? The Job-Ready Bill removes the source of this overhead funding.

That's catastrophic (1/6👇)
The Bill remains only to be voted on by the Senate before it will severely impact on Universities, academics, students and the sector. The ASMR has serious concerns regarding the Bill and how it will adversely affect health + medical research in Australia
At present the votes are 38 for and 37 against, with one cross-bench senator undecided; Stirling Griff @Stirling_G. The only way the Bill can be stopped is if this Senator Griff also votes against it.

🗣 NSW + Newcastle high school students - on October 14, you'll have a chance to virtually meet scientists from a wide range of fields, including Cassandra Griffin!

Her journey into the science world has been a little different to most!

A thread 👇 Image
Training in the performing arts after graduating high school and working both onstage and behind the scenes in the theatre industry, medical research wasn’t an obvious destination.
Cass holds a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Drama, Ancient History and Anthropology, a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and a Masters of Public Health focusing on communicable disease control. Since graduating she has worked as a hospital scientist in microbiology research ...

The meeting was scheduled to be held in Melbourne, however, due to the restrictions on in-person gatherings and travel (not part of our 2020 vision...) we are now hosting an online event to ensure we still all get a chance to "meet"
The conference theme is 2020 vision: the future of medical research and we will shine a light on cutting edge advances in medical research and provide a number of innovative professional development opportunities to help you take your research into the future.

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) was instated to help fund Australian medical research. It has been apparent that the awarding of these disbursements is flawed.

Have first hand examples of administrative or procedural issues with the MRFF? Please contact us.

A thread 👇
The inception of the MRFF gave us two sources of government funding for health and medical research – the @nhmrc grants (which are expertly managed) and the MRFF.
As it turns out, a whopping 65% of these MRFF funds have been awarded without going through a competitive process. This may mean the best science isn’t being funded.
