As part of its responsibilities, the National Research Priorities (NRP) Standing Committee is required to report to and advise the Australian Government on the implementation of the NRPs by relevant agencies.
The first formal report to the Government by the Committee was provided in May 2007. The report fulfils an obligation to assess the initiative after its initial three years of operation and will be an ongoing process of triennial evaluation.
The 2007 report outlines the implementation progress and impact of the NRPs within agencies over the three years since the initiative was established in 2003-04. The information covered in the report was provided by relevant agencies and addresses a number of areas including impact, collaboration, shifts in resources and emerging research priorities.
The information in the Standing Committee’s report to Government supplements the NRP information reported annually through the Australian Government’s Innovation Report.
The NRP 2007 Report to Government is available through the Research Publications area of this website.
