Historically, the MND Australia Research Committee has underpinned the process of research grant allocations. This required that members review grant applications and determine the distribution of funds within set policies and according to the criteria for scientific assessment.
With the recent merge of MND Australia and MND Research Australia, the function and structure of the MND Australia Research Committee has evolved. Moving forward, the MND Australia Research Committee will take on a more strategic role, providing high-level oversight of MND Australia research programs. A grant review panel will be established as a sub-committee of the Research Committee to continue to the important work of assessing grant applications and to determining the annual distribution of funds.
In October 2025, MND Australia invited applications for the position of Chair of the Research Committee and for members of the Research Committee. Information on the new MND Australia Research Committee will be available soon.
