Section 3 – Budgeted Financial Statements
Schedule of Administered Activity
Income
The Administered accounts are used as a mechanism to move most of the funds to
NHMRC’s Special Account (Medical Research Endowment Account) apart from
$10.816 million funding related to the transferred programs (2011-12 PBS).
Expenditure estimates for the Medical Research Endowment Account have increased
slightly compared to the 2011-12 PBS (from $791,141 million to $804,472 million),
largely due to growth in the value of grant announcements.
Expenditure in 2011-12 and forward estimates is expected to be greater than the
Administered appropriations and funds will be drawn down from the Medical Research
Endowment Account.
