The Research Support funding group is aiming to provide funding to support the research undertaken to promote the health of Australians. The funding types available under the Research Support funding group are:
NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence
NHMRC’s Centres of Research Excellence (CRE) Scheme supports research which aims to improve health outcomes, and promote/or improve translation of research outcomes primarily into practice. The CRE scheme also supports researchers in capacity building activities in specific areas of need identified by NHMRC.
NHMRC Development Grants
A Development Grant provides funding support to individual researchers, research teams, or a HMR company in partnership with a researcher/s to undertake research at the early proof-of-principle or pre-seed stage. The Scheme supports the commercial development of a product, process, procedure or service that if applied, would result in improved health care, disease prevention or provide health cost savings.
NHMRC Project Grants
The Project Grants scheme is the NHMRC’s main avenue of support for individuals and small teams of researchers undertaking clinical, biomedical, public health and health services research in Australian universities, medical schools, hospitals and other research institutions.
NHMRC Program Grants
The aim of this scheme is to provide support for teams of high calibre researchers to pursue broadly based collaborative research activities. Teams will be expected to contribute to new knowledge at a leading international level in important areas of health and medical research. The scheme is available for all research approaches relevant to better health (ie biomedical, clinical, public health or health services research).
