NHMRC recognises excellence in the health and medical research sector through its annual Research Excellence Awards and celebrates leadership and outstanding contributions to the sector through its Biennial Awards.
These awards for excellence highlight outstanding Australian researchers and the extraordinary quality and promise of NHMRC-funded health and medical research.
Our Research Excellence Awards recognise the top-ranked applicants to each of NHMRC’s major funding schemes during the past year. The award categories are named in honour of some of the greatest pioneers of Australian health and medical research.
Our Biennial Awards recognise a group or an individual who has made a special contribution in an area of importance to NHMRC. There are 6 categories - Consumer Involvement, Ethics and Integrity, Outstanding Contribution, Research Quality, Science to Art - and new for 2025, the Peer Review Excellence category.
Nominations for the 2025 Biennial Awards are open and will close on Friday 31 January 2025 at 17:00 AEDT.
