The 2016-17 MRFF disbursements of over $65 million will be injected into a range of programs that cut across the research pipeline - fuelling new discoveries and the translation and commercialisation of great Australian ideas.

As required by the Medical Research Future Fund Act 2015, the Australian Medical Research Advisory Board developed the inaugural Australian Medical Research and Innovation Strategy 2016-2021 and the accompanying Australian Medical Research and Innovation Priorities 2016-2018. These documents were registered with the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments on 9 November 2016 and announced by the Government on the same day.
The Strategy and Priorities have been considered by Government in deciding the first disbursements from the MRFF.
