The medical research institute lobby’s election election statement calls on all parties, “to show their commitment for Australia’s future health and wellbeing,” presumably by giving its members a bucket of money.  

The Association of Australian Medical Research Institutes calls for:

* full $20bn capitalisation of the Medical Research Future Fund by 2020-21, as originally planned

*  grant funding above inflation

* Investment in mid-career opportunities for researchers.

The statement is in-line with AAMRI’s budget submission (CMM February 11).
