NHMRC and ARC grant results for the School of Biomedical Sciences 2008
The School of Biomedical Sciences performed strongly in the latest round of Federal Government grants.
The Government awarded $61,649,226 in total to the school, recognising its crucial role in breaking new ground in the most topical areas of biomedical research.
The school snared half of the NHMRC money allocated to Monash University for 2008, drawing in $28,962, 575. Meanwhile, its ARC grants rose by 18 per cent from last year to $4,180,000.
