NHMRC’s Research Impact Track Record Assessment (RITRA) framework requires researchers to report on past research impacts in their applications for Investigator and Synergy Grants and requires peer reviewers to assess and score these reported impacts. Implementation of this framework is intended to provide an incentive for researchers to consider future impact when planning and conducting research, ideally leading to an increase in the translation of NHMRC-funded research and improved public health. The RITRA framework evaluation report describes the results of a process evaluation that sought to determine whether the RITRA framework has been implemented as intended.

NHMRC has rigorous standards in place to ensure that guidelines and advice are high quality and based on the best available scientific evidence.
There are many steps involved when developing guidelines with engagement from a variety of different stakeholders. They are developed by multidisciplinary committees that follow a rigorous evidence-based approach. They are informed by the judgement of evidence by experts, and the views of consumers, community groups and other people affected by the guidelines.
To support the development of the highest quality guidelines and advice, NHMRC has robust processes in place to manage conflict of interest and to use recognised tools to assess the evidence for quality and bias.
The Principles are high-level, guiding statements, that underpin NHMRC's peer review processes and will apply to all NHMRC funding schemes.
