Description:

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

  • Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): improve early detection and targeted treatment for the most common cancers to reduce the burden of disease. Research proposals in this Stream must focus on one of the following Topics:
    • Topic A: developing patient-friendly, non-invasive approaches to cancer screening and management
    • Topic B: exploring methodologies for longitudinal cancer management using genomics and functional genomics.
  • Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): through a competitively selected national consortium, apply advanced analytics (e.g. artificial intelligence) to enhance the diagnostic utility of genomics.

The intended outcome of the research is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by:

  • Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): enabling earlier and more efficient genomic diagnosis of cancers to inform clinical options and pathways.
  • Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): developing innovative methods for more effective use of genomics for diagnostic purposes.

Applicants to this grant opportunity must propose research that addresses one of the two Streams of research.

This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
