MRFF – Dementia, Ageing and Aged Care Mission – 2023 Dementia, Ageing and Aged Care Grant Opportunity  

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – 2023 Dementia, Ageing and Aged Care Grant Opportunity will provide grants of financial assistance to support medical research and medical innovation projects that:

  • Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): conduct implementation research to test interventions that are designed to improve uptake of holistic primary and secondary prevention activities to delay the onset and severity of dementia
  • Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): develop new tools, technologies and strategies to support adoption of the key components of high-quality care for older Australians.

Streams 1 and 2 are intended to support projects that progress research that addresses a specific health need.

Applications to this grant opportunity must propose research that addresses one of the two Streams of research.

The intended outcome of the research funded by this grant opportunity is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by:

  • Stream 1: improving access to effective preventive health interventions that delay the onset and severity of dementia
  • Stream 2: improving the quality of care provided to older Australians.

This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
