Grant Funding Underspend
Definition
Biotech research organizations face financial losses from government budgeting $650M against $973M available from MRFF in 2024-25, resulting in $323M underspent. Indirect research costs remain underfunded despite hundreds of millions in project grants.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: $323M annual funding shortfall per MRFF; indirect costs underfunded by substantial amounts needed to match project grants
- Frequency: Annual, based on budget cycles
- Root Cause: Manual budget tracking fails to align government disbursements with Future Fund availability; lack of visibility into investment returns
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Biotechnology players in Australia waste $323M annually on untapped MRFF grants due to budget shortfalls. Automation of budget tracking and reporting unlocks full funding access.
