A4 submission on health and medical research in Australia
A4 sent a submission to the the Review of Health and Medical Research in Australia (see http://www.mckeonreview.org.au/).
The submission suggests that research funding has a greater chance of having more impact when it is addresses health issues with higher "burden of disease and injury". It mentions that autism has a high burden for children (highest for boys), based on the available evidence ... yet very little of Australia's health and medical research funding is spent on autism.
