Purpose
This grant is for innovative medical research projects that encourage academic researchers and health service providers to collaborate to improve health care delivery, services and systems sustainability.
Overview
A grant of between $250,000 to $5 million to cover up to 100% of eligible project costs.
Who is this for?Eligible organisations that can support large-scale interdisciplinary research programs to improve health benefits for Australians.
This initiative supports the translation of research evidence into clinical practice and better quality of care for patients by encouraging collaborations between academic researchers, health service providers, consumers and other end users on projects to improve health care delivery, service and systems sustainability.
Consistent with the Medical Research Future Fund Act 2015, the objective of this grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support Australian medical research and medical innovation projects that:
- deliver late stage translational research that is directly relevant to clinical care, health services and/or health practices, which has the potential to be translated into existing policy and practice
- use existing knowledge and evidence to support and accelerate the translation of research findings into improved health care and health interventions
- address a clearly defined gap in best practice health care and health interventions to improve health outcomes, as identified by collaborating health services
- involve all stakeholders relevant to the research and its translation in its conceptualisation, design and implementation, including health care consumers and providers.
Two streams of funding are available:
- Stream 1 (Accelerator): the Chief Investigators are primarily resident in any area according to the Modified Monash Model (MM1-7)
- Stream 2 (Accelerator): the Chief Investigator A and 50% or more of all Chief Investigators are primarily resident in a regional, rural, or remote area according to the Modified Monash Model (MM2-7).
For this grant opportunity, an application may be submitted to one of the above two Streams only. Applicants must specify the Stream they are applying for in their application.
An organisation may submit more than one application to a single Stream, but there are restrictions on the number of applications an individual (i.e. Chief Investigator) may submit to a single Stream (refer the Section on Chief Investigators in the grant opportunity guidelines).
