When you support medical research, you are helping to build the future of medicine, to advance medical knowledge, improve patient care and save lives. Australia and New Zealand have a proud history of donating to medical research. The high quality of medical care we enjoy today is built upon decades of quality research. This has resulted in breakthrough treatments and the prevention of life-threatening diseases. It is vital work because what we learn about the immune system now will help fight a wide range of human illness in the future. There is still so much work to be done. It is our goal to give a total of more than $500,000 in grants by 2023. To achieve this, we ensure that 100% of donations directly fund AIFA grants. There are no expensive marketing campaigns and all of our administration costs are supported by ASCIA. The research scientists who have been awarded AIFA grants have been selected through a robust selection process, involving an independent, voluntary panel of leading experts.
