JDRF Australia has been identified as the only eligible organisation to apply to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Australia - Health and Medical Research for Type 1 Diabetes Grant Opportunity.  JDRF Australia is the most appropriate organisation as it developed the T1D CRN program and these funds will support its continuation. JDRF Australia will continue to facilitate access to clinical trials, increase the capacity of the T1D research sector and translate early findings into clinical practice. JDRF Australia is the leading T1D research non-profit organisation. JDRF Australia has previously received funding from the department to deliver the T1D CRN and has demonstrated its ability to successfully deliver outcomes. 

The T1D CRN supports the objectives of the Public Health and Chronic Disease Program and the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) through innovative research that translates into better health and wellbeing outcomes for people with T1D, creating economic return through decreased health costs and supporting the research workforce.

In the last decade, research funded through the T1D CRN has:

• seen 42 new T1D therapeutic targets investigated
• led to the identification and investigation of 18 new approaches to improve T1D clinical care
• underpinned improvements to clinical care guidelines and government funding policy.

Potential grantees are advised that an election for the House of Representatives may be called before this grant process has been concluded. If an election is called and the House of Representatives is dissolved, then caretaker arrangements will apply to the business of Government. By convention, decisions are not taken during this period that would bind an incoming Government and limit its freedom of action. Consequently, potential grantees need to be aware that any grant processes which have not been concluded before the caretaker period, or which commence during the caretaker period, may experience delays in finalisation and could potentially be revised or cancelled.
