The trustees of the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) have appointed a Medical Research Advisory Committee comprising established scientists of high national repute to consider applications and make recommendations.
In fact, some grant recipients have been appointed to the Advisory Committee subsequent to their award in recognition of their expertise. All recommendations of the Committee are made on the basis of scientific merit and potential.
Procedures of the Committee include assessment of applications by referees and independent expert assessors, as well as site visits and interviews of selected short-listed candidates. Membership of the Committee is authorised by the Department of Health. Each member is appointed on a three yearly basis, after which they may either stand down or seek re-election.
