NHMRC and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) have developed the 2024 NHMRC-CIHR CCNA: Indigenous health research grant opportunity through Phase III of the Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA). The CCNA is Canada’s national consortium for research involving neurodegenerative diseases that affect cognition in aging, including Alzheimer's disease.
NHMRC’s goal is to support the highest quality research that will lead to improvements in health over the short or long term. Peer review by independent experts is used to identify well-designed feasible projects that address a significant question and are undertaken by researchers with demonstrated capacity to perform high-quality research.

Up until the mid-20th century there was little that clinicians could do to help a patient with renal (kidney) failure: the condition was fatal. By the late 1960s, however, advancements in medical research had made it possible to replace diseased kidneys with healthy ones through transplantation and to keep patients alive with dialysis until donor kidneys became available. NHMRC-funded clinician researchers played key roles in transforming kidney transplantation from an experimental procedure to a world-leading health care service for Australians with renal disease.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with an estimated 80 million people affected1 including more than 200,000 Australians.2 Over two decades, NHMRC-funded researchers at the Lions Eye Institute (LEI) and the University of Western Australia (UWA) developed a new approach that has revolutionised glaucoma treatment, leading to safer surgery and improved vision outcomes. With later support from an international industry team, this new glaucoma surgery is now in use worldwide.
