In order to support activity towards each of the Priorities, the Government has funded a series of initiatives under four broad categories: Patients, Researchers, Missions and Translation. Missions are initiatives with specific, ambitious goals; in some instances, but not all, missions are designed with the objective to seek significant co-funding investments. In all other instances, the funding initiatives are defined as Programs.
