All the feels tonight for the Australian biomedical research sector #nhmrc
The Australian Government research funding system is broken. We would be better off having a lottery than wasting our time and money spending weeks on writing a grant that attracts positive feedback but fails to succeed.
Sorry to all who received shit news today

#NHMRC investigator results are out. Sapphire slow as. Wishing everyone good results and commiserations for those unlucky. It’s a brutal system and not a reflection on you as a researcher.
At this stage it’s a Schrödinger cat situation, I both have and have not been successful in my application. But that’s okay, happy to wait, it’s not like our livelihood and ability to continue research depends on this announcement

Saphhire is down? Is that a sign?!?!?! #refresh #NHMRC #hungergames
Anyone else hit the email refresh season, #NHMRC #investigatorgrant outcomes pending?!

Medical research spending has a positive return on investment; for every $ invested there's an estimated $4 return. Beyond economics, delays hold up medical innovations
Australians deserve better
If you agree, please sign the petition to let #auspol leaders know why medical research matters

100% this!!!
Love the idea of a lottery, because that's literally how the #NHMRC in Australia appears
I'm going to a PitchFest next month where 10 researchers get 3 minutes to do their elevator pitch to a room of philanthropists. Fingers crossed I get some monies 🤞🏼

Pleased to share that we were awarded a 2026 #NHMRC Ideas grant via @sydney.edu.au to study/ raise awareness of published human #CellLines that may not exist. It was a tough year, but this outcome shows that NHMRC can fund topics in #metascience, as well as laboratory & clinical research

“When failure rates sit this high, we’re not just losing good ideas—we’re draining time, energy & morale from a workforce we can’t afford to waste.” Success rates @ 8% the #nhmrc Ideas Grants scheme = a lottery! The MREA must be increased! #auspol www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-aust...
The 2011 ‘Discoveries Need Dollars’ campaign led to the MRFF that we now have today. I think it is time to reactivate the campaign to push for a new cash injection into NHMRC discovery health & medical research! #auspol #researchsky #nhmrc #discoveriesneeddollars

#NHMRC Ideas grant success rate was 8.1% this year. This is not sustainable.

Australian investment in medical science is at a record low. As a result, thousands of excellent research projects go unfunded each year. Do you want your government to invest in the future of your health? #NHMRC #FundingCrisis #releasethefullMRFF
I saw this on LinkedIn and it makes me both enraged and consoled. The difference between who got an #NHMRC #IdeasGrant and who didn’t may have been a matter of a single score from a single reviewer. Those that got ‘Outstanding’ score 6 but didn’t get it were just as deserving, but unlucky…
Chances are you're about to lose. Science funding in Australia is now a gamble with terrible odds. #NHMRC Ideas success rates have hit 8.1% nationally, <4% in WA. Brilliant colleagues are leaving or quitting. We need change. www.linkedin.com/posts/alforr...
The 2025 US HHS Report found serious conflicts of interest driving medical bodies to suppress the 2024 UK Cass Report. It is not harmful to discuss it!! #NHMRC
#NHMRC responses at #Estimates were deeply inadequate, uninformed and are not going to #SaveOzScience. #NHMRC has NOT requested more funding to save the majority of excellent science. Our science, our scientists and the public deserve better. Thankyou #DavidPocock and #DrMoniqueRyan.
It's an all time low in both the percentage and number of #NHMRC #IdeasGrant funded. Previous lowest percentage was 9.8% in the 2020. However 283 grants were funded that year, this year it's under 200.
this is unsustainable, the $600M underspend of the #MRFF could be funnelled, or at least partially funnelled, to supporting excellent #NHMRC applications that fall below the funding cut off because there is too little money in the pot #DiscoveriesNeedDollars #SaveOzScience
An abismal 8% success rate for this year’s #NHMRC #IdeasGrant scheme. Must be an all time low. Congratulations to those successful, you really earned it! Commiserations to the NINETY TWO percent of applicants who didn’t get it… #australianresearch #discoveriesneeddollars 🥼🧪🔬🧫 🇦🇺
Australian #NHMRC Ideas grants are out. 8.1% success rate. Lowest since the scheme began. Congrats to the successful few, as it looks like less than 200 were funded. 🧪
Looks like #NHMRC ideas grants are out. Sapphire is crashing. Fingers crossed that people get some good news
