Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO6777

The objective of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) - Cardiovascular Health Mission – 2024 Cardiovascular Health Grant Opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support medical research and medical innovation projects that: 

• Stream 1 (Priority area 1.2, Targeted Call for Research): reduce the number of Australians experiencing cardiovascular disease and stroke by developing and implementing early, more effective preventive health interventions, by developing, optimising and implementing clinical pathways that embed evidence-based treatment, including for risk factors.
• Stream 2 (Priority area 2.1, Targeted Call for Research): conduct research to foster uptake of best-practice care, including to reduce care inequities, by improving uptake of evidence generated from the program into acute care guidelines or policy. 
• Stream 3 (Priority area 3.3, Targeted Call for Research): conduct a large-scale project that builds on the development projects (i.e. the short-term, small-scale development projects under Priority area 3.3 that were supported through the 2020 Cardiovascular Health grant opportunity) that are focused on new models of rehabilitation and recovery support that increase equity of access for all people (e.g. digital or online delivery of services like tele-rehab for heart and stroke).
• Stream 4 (Priority area 3.3, Targeted Call for Research): conduct research to support effective national adoption and best-practice use of rehabilitation and recovery programs.

Applicants to this grant opportunity must propose to conduct research that delivers against the above objectives and those of the Cardiovascular Health Mission as described in the Roadmap and Implementation Plan.
