MRFF – Genomics Health Futures Mission – 2025 Genomics Health Futures Grant Opportunity

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – 2025 Genomics Health Futures Grant Opportunity will provide grants of financial assistance to support medical research and medical innovation projects that:

  • Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): develop and implement pharmacogenomic approaches to identify new medicines and enhance medication efficacy.
    Funding under Stream 1 is available as follows:
    • Topic A: Cancer therapies
    • Topic B: Antimicrobials
    • Topic C: Medicines for other infectious or chronic diseases.
  • Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): conduct genomics research to optimise the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and prevention of high-priority and high-burden diseases among Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples.

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

  • Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): improving precision medicine to enhance medication efficacy and safety
  • Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): targeting genomic solutions to diseases prevalent among Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.
