Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) will get longer term funding as the Government seeks changes to make them "engines of growth", Science Minister Wayne Mapp said today.

The Government today announced its response to a taskforce's recommendations on getting the best out of the CRIs.

Dr Mapp said the CRIs would be getting greater clarity about their roles and purposes which would match more strategic and longer term funding.

"The new long-term strategic funding in particular is a huge change which will enable CRIs to better align with sectors and produce better science," Dr Mapp said.
