Australian Department of Health: "Queensland Women Lead the Way in $96.5 Million of Ground Breaking Medical Research"

There's nothing in the press release to suggest that the work of these five females is any more worthy than that of the recipients of the other 1305 grants. Link here. Excerpt:

'Queensland’s leading female researchers will receive funding to continue their groundbreaking work in osteoporosis, the genetics of ovarian cancer and childhood obesity prevention, the Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Mark Butler, announced today.

The Gillard Labor Government is providing $673.7 million for 1,140 grants to support researchers, research projects and research institutions Australia-wide. This represents the single biggest investment of grants for health and medical research in Australian history.

Queensland researchers will receive $96.5 million for 169 grants through the National Health and Medical Research Council.

“These grants support our research community to continue to do what they do so well – making cutting edge discoveries that improve the diagnosis, treatment and cure of illnesses that touch all Australians,” Mr Butler said.'
