The MRFF Cardiovascular Health Mission’s intent is to accelerate Australian-led research to advance cardiovascular health through the creation of a world-class sustainable eco-system underpinned by excellence, collaboration, innovation, consumer engagement and commercialisation, and embedded in the health care system.

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

• Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): improve the understanding of cardiovascular disease risk, including biological mechanisms.
• Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): conduct preclinical development and validation of novel molecular targets and novel device approaches for cardiovascular disease and/or stroke.
• Stream 3 (Accelerator): conduct a large-scale project focused on discovery and testing of new, broadly applicable (multiple disease groups) interventions for cardiovascular disease and/or stroke (e.g. anti-inflammatory targets).

Applicants to this grant opportunity must propose research that addresses one of the three Streams of research. An application may be submitted to one of the above three Streams only. Applicants must specify the Stream to which they are applying in their application.
