The Ministry of Education received close to 10,000 applications for Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS) funding over the last six years, between July 2011 and September 2017 and one-third of those applications - or 3057 - were declined.

16. Breakthrough in quest to cure the incurable cancer that strikes kids
The Age – 16 April 2018

Following more than 250 unsuccessful drug trials around the world, a team from the Children’s Cancer Institute in Sydney has been using a new approach. Using donated tumours from children who have died, they have been able to regrow DIPG cancer cells in the lab, and they have subjected them to thousands of different drugs using a robot.
