In addition to the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (the Code), we provide information to help people ensure that the use of animals is ethical, humane, complies with all relevant legislation and the Code, and meets the highest possible standards.
Ensuring the highest quality and value of NHMRC-funded research is a priority for NHMRC. NHMRC’s Research Quality Strategy outlines the key areas NHMRC will focus on to provide guidance and support for good research practices throughout the research cycle.
NHMRC produces impact case studies to demonstrate its contribution to raising the standard of individual and public health throughout Australia.
Grant outcomes for the 2025 NHMRC grant application round will be provided incrementally throughout the year. The outcome datasets may include a small number of schemes for which applications closed in the previous year.
NHMRC is investing nearly $4 million to drive groundbreaking oral health research that will benefit all Australians.
The Targeted Call for Research (TCR): Oral Health Care in Australia 2024 grant opportunity aims to fund research into better understanding the apparent gap in the translation and implementation of effective population-level oral health (including health services) interventions. Oral health needs to be considered as an integral part of general health and embedded in the primary care setting. The design and implementation of interventions and policy changes based on this research would reduce overall health system demands and costs in the long-term.
NHMRC opened the Targeted Call for Research (TCR): Oral Health Care in Australia 2024 on 20 November 2024. Applications closed on 12 February 2025.

A Targeted Call for Research (TCR) is a one-time request for grant applications to address a specific health issue where there is a significant research knowledge gap or unmet need. A TCR specifies the scope and objectives of the research to be proposed, application requirements and procedures, and the review criteria to be applied in the evaluation of applications submitted in response to the TCR.
In the 2000s, rising annual Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) diagnoses in Australia highlighted the need for developing new ways of preventing HIV transmission. Researchers at the University of New South Wales’ (UNSW) Kirby Institute and the Centre for Social Research in Health conducted a series of NHMRC-supported studies demonstrating the effectiveness of antiretroviral medicines in preventing transmission. Their work guided the successful scale up of HIV treatment as prevention and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), resulting in substantial declines in HIV infections in Australia and ensuring Australia remains a global leader in HIV prevention.
