Medical Research Future Fund Genomics Health Futures Mission - National Consultation on the refreshed Roadmap and Implementation Plan

About the webinar

Please join us for a webinar where Prof. Robyn Ward as chair of the Expert Advisory Panel (EAP) will present the refreshed strategic documents for the Genomics Health Futures Mission (GHFM).

The GHFM is investing $500.1 million over 10 years (2018-2028) in genomics research under the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF). Investments under the GHFM are guided by strategic documents (an Implementation Plan and Roadmap) which have been refreshed by a second EAP that was appointed in December 2023.

This webinar, as part of the national consultation on these refreshed documents, will provide an overview of the review and refresh, and provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions about the Mission and the consultation process.
