MSAC consideration

1. Develop overview paper (only for direct pathway)
   
   Your applicant-developed assessment report (ADAR) is critically reviewed in an overview paper.
2. Respond to overview paper (only for direct pathway)
   
   In this step, you respond to the overview paper in your pre-MSAC response.
3. Request or receive notice of an MSAC hearing
   
   If your application meets the criteria, you can request a hearing or we may initiate one. A hearing is an opportunity to address specific issues raised during the MSAC process.
4. MSAC considers application (MSAC meeting)
   
   We will appraise your application at an MSAC meeting to decide whether to support it for public funding.
5. Notify outcome of application
   
   You will receive early notification of the outcome if you agree to keep it confidential until the public summary document is published.
6. Develop public summary document
   
   You can comment on the public summary document and identify information for redaction before it is published on this website.
7. Request debrief meeting
   
   If we did not support your application for public funding or deferred finalising our advice, you can request a debrief meeting.
