Funding by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding has increased nearly five-fold since 1995. This funding increase has been warmly embraced by the Australian community, with recent Research Australia public opinion polling* finding that 72% of people believe that the government should continue increasing funding for health and medical research.   Public opinion polling has consistently yielded evidence of high levels of public support for government funding of health and medical research, on par with traditionally high ranking areas, such as education.
