MRFF – Preventive and Public Health Research Initiative – 2025 Targeted Translation Research Accelerator – Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Models of Care Grant Opportunity
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – 2025 Targeted Translation Research Accelerator – Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Models of Care Grant Opportunity will support research that:
- Stream 1: conduct large-scale multidisciplinary projects to develop, implement and validate technology-augmented patient-centred models of care for people with cardiovascular disease or diabetes (types 1 or 2), through co-design with consumers and health services
- Stream 2: conduct large-scale multidisciplinary projects to develop, implement and validate technology-augmented patient-centred models of care for people with both cardiovascular disease and diabetes (type 1 or type 2), through co-design with consumers and health services.
Four topics of funding under each Stream are available based on the geographic location of the organisation undertaking the majority of the research or on the priority population identified:
- Topic A: The organisation undertaking the majority of the research is based in any area according to the 2019 Modified Monash Model locator (MM 1–7).
- Topic B: The organisation undertaking the majority of the research must be located in, and the Chief Investigator A and 50% or more of all Chief Investigators and all research participants must be primarily resident in, a regional, rural or remote area according to the 2019 Modified Monash Model locator (MM 2–7).
- Topic C: The proposed research focuses on the health of First Nations peoples and demonstrates leadership by First Nations researchers and communities.
- Topic D: The proposed research focuses on the health of people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds and demonstrates co-leadership by individuals from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds in the design and implementation of the research.
The anticipated outcome/s of the research is to:
- Stream 1: generating new technology-enabled patient-centred models of care that improve health care delivery and drive equitable health outcomes for people with cardiovascular disease or diabetes (type 1 or 2).
- Stream 2: generating new technology-enabled patient-centred models of care that improve health care delivery and drive equitable health outcomes for people with both cardiovascular disease and diabetes (type 1 or type 2).
This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
