NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence

Overview

The purpose of the NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence (CRE) scheme is to support research that aims to improve health outcomes and promote/or improve translation of research outcomes into policy and/or practice. The CRE scheme will also support researchers in capacity building activities, including in specific areas of need identified by the NHMRC.

The specific objectives of the scheme are to:

• Support the conduct and development of innovative, high quality, collaborative research
• Promote effective translation of research into health policy and/or practice;
• Foster and build capacity in the health and medical research workforce; and
• Provide opportunities to expand and improve collaborations between research teams.

NHMRC Open Access Policy

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) released a new open access policy on 20 September 2022. This policy requires full and immediate open access for NHMRC-funded research outputs.

The 2022 policy applies immediately to new grants and scholarships awarded under NHMRC Grant Opportunity Guidelines that were issued on or after 20 September 2022.

The new policy will apply to all other grants from 1 January 2024. Until then, these NHMRC grant holders remain under the previous NHMRC open access policy (2018, updated in 2020), which required research outputs to be open access within 12 months of publication.

For  more information on how to comply with this policy please refer to: https://library.unimelb.edu.au/open-scholarship/funder-open-access-policies
