About the Clinician Researchers initiative
The Clinician Researchers initiative will provide $200 million over 10 years between 2024–25 and 2033–34 for health care professionals to carry out research projects.
Why it is important
This initiative supports health care professionals to undertake research that will improve clinical care and practice, including through engagement with patients.
The initiative will also support clinicians to focus on developing and refining their research skills and build research capacity.
Many health care professionals have had to choose between life as a researcher or a clinician. This can mean that research doesn’t address problems seen in clinical practice.
Objectives
The objective of this initiative is to help the next generation of talented Australian health professionals drive research, make new discoveries and ensure implementation of best practice care for their patients.
Meeting our objectives
We will monitor the initiative in accordance with the principles and approach detailed in the MRFF Monitoring, evaluation and learning strategy.
