NHMRC funds priority-driven research in response to identified health priority areas to create a healthier future for Australians through relevant and targeted research initiatives which has included eight large scale one-off priority-driven grant opportunities. Though each grant opportunity was unique in design, each had a common focus of establishing a national collaborative research network.
NHMRC commissioned ORIMA Research to evaluate the effectiveness of these large-scale grant opportunities in fostering national collaboration in order to provide an evidence base to identify the best practice approaches to designing future priority-driven grant opportunities to achieve national research collaboration. The findings of the evaluation are published in this report.
