Economic value of Children's Hospital Foundation research grants
31 March 2023
The Children’s Hospital Foundation (CHF) asked us to assess the economic impacts and benefits of its paediatric research grant program. Since 2010-11, CHF provided more than $60 million in medical research grants across several research categories, including oncology, respiratory health, digestive tract and nutrition, cystic fibrosis and cerebral palsy. This investment has leveraged more than $150 million (in real terms) over the past decade in further investment in paediatric medical research and also generated significant impacts for the Queensland and Australian economy, as well as benefits for patients, their families and researchers.

Are we still turning Japanese? I don’t think so.
Ask any Queensland public school kid what second language has been foisted on them, and it is more likely than not the answer is Japanese.
