MRFF – Indigenous Health Research Fund – 2026 Empowering Community-Controlled Research Grant Opportunity
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – Indigenous Health Research Fund – 2026 Empowering Community-Controlled Research Grant Opportunity will support research to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through:
- Indigenous-led research practice and governance
- knowledge translation
- evidence-based structural change in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practice
- building on the unique knowledge, strengths and endurance of our communities, with particular reference to Country, culture and spirituality.
The anticipated outcome of the research is to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through a Community-Controlled research program that applies the principle of self-determination.
This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.
Further information on the MRFF is available from the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing's MRFF website.
