DO Details

NFMRI’s fifth conference, “Research with Purpose 2021”, will take place on the 23rd- 25th of November 2021 at The Anchorage Hotel & Spa in Port Stephens, New South Wales. The three-day event also includes our 2021 Awards Dinner, set to take place on the evening of the 24th November 2021 at the same venue. At our Awards Dinner, we will announce successful applicants with funding commencing in 2022 and share some of our success stories.

For a limited time, we are offering grant-making charities who offer competitive grants to external organisations, two registrations for the price of one full registration (only available with early bird registrations). Simply register one individual under a grant-making charity registration and email the details of the second individual to: conference@nfmri.org.au

About the Conference

The purpose of many organisations, including charities, relates to delivering better health outcomes for the community.

When we ask the general public why they think medical research is important, they will often refer to saving lives, improved health, cures and treatments for diseases.

Research translation is critical for taking research out of the lab and delivering on the expectations of communities, grant makers and governement.

The intent is clear and consistent.

Is our community’s intent currently aligned and being met by the medical research sector, government, employers and funders?

Can we help build a culture that supports all the components required for research translation?

It takes more than research to achieve success. Success relies on harnessing many skills sets (e.g. legal, financial, business development and policy) across many sectors including research, industry, investors, government and philanthropy.

By accepting purpose focused funding, is there a social contract to prioritise intent?

This year’s conference will explore the medical research ecosystem and how together we can lead cultural and systems change to better support research translation.

  • Philanthropists

Conference Refund and Cancellation Policy

All refund requests must be made in writing to conference@nfmri.org.au. Refund requests will be granted as follows:

In the event that COVID-19 restrictions require NFMRI to cancel or postpone the event, or if a delegate is unable to travel to and from Port Stephens, NSW to attend NFMRI’s conference due to state government border closures, a full refund of the conference registration fee will be offered. NFMRI is not liable for any transaction fees charged by your bank or credit card company.

Accommodation and travel cancellations are not the responsibility of NFMRI. Guests should refer to the terms and conditions of their individual travel providers. The Anchorage Hotel & Spa’s terms and conditions can be found here.

Eventbrite credit card processing

Fees to attend our event will be charged in Australian dollars and can be paid via Visa or Mastercard. However, since credit card charges for Eventbrite orders are processed in the U.S., your bank may charge an additional overseas transaction fee. Unfortunately, Eventbrite has no control over or notification of when these charges are applied. As such, we recommend that you contact your bank or credit card company beforehand for more information.
