Forecast Opportunity View - 2023 Innovative Trials

The objective of the 2023 Innovative Trials grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support Australian medical research and medical innovation projects that:

• Stream 1: address an area of unmet medical need by promoting the development and implementation of adaptive platform trials. Research proposals in this stream must focus on one of the following topics:
  • Topic A: conducting inception projects that build evidence and capability to demonstrate the feasibility of establishing a national adaptive platform trial that would allow for rapid assessment of pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological interventions in an area of unmet need
  • Topic B: establishing a new national adaptive platform trial that addresses an area of unmet need, including set up of central infrastructure and conduct of initial launch domains
  • Topic C: expanding an existing adaptive platform trial by adding new domains that address an area of unmet need.
• Stream 2: conduct a registry-based randomised controlled trial in an area of unmet medical need by embedding a registry-based randomised controlled trial into a pre-existing clinical registry
• Stream 3: generate evidence of the efficiency and cost effectiveness of innovative trial designs over conventional trial designs for:
  • Topic A: adaptive platform trials
  • Topic B: registry-based randomised controlled trials.

An application may be submitted to one of the above three streams only.
