Tender Details
Tender Description
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – Genomics Health Futures Mission (GHFM) - 2024 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/or implement novel genomic methods to improve diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and/or surveillance of new, emerging, and/or re-emerging infectious diseases.
Stream 1 funding is available as follows:
- Topic A: Microbial surveillance
- Topic B: Antimicrobial resistance
- Topic C: Infectious diseases.
Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): develop and/or implement pharmacogenomic approaches to reduce medication harm and adverse side effects.
Stream 3 (Incubator): develop novel methods for using polygenic risk scores to identify subgroups of the population at high risk of common and complex diseases.
Stream 3 funding is available as follows:
- Topic A: Cardiovascular disease
- Topic B: Diabetes
- Topic C: Other common and/or complex diseases.
Stream 4 (Incubator): develop novel methods for improving the accuracy and usefulness of polygenic risk scores to stratify people with common cancers for surveillance and treatment.
Stream 4 funding is available as follows:
- Topic A: Breast cancer
- Topic B: Colorectal cancer
- Topic C: Prostate cancer
- Topic D: Other common cancers.
Stream 5 (Incubator): undertake research to enhance or streamline uptake of clinical genomics into practice.
Stream 6 (Incubator): conduct small-scale developmental projects to establish feasible, evidence-based genomics approaches for population cohort research that focus on culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
