Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO6226

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

• Stream 1 (Incubator): conduct small-scale development projects to establish feasible, evidence-based approaches aimed at improving survivorship and reducing morbidity through initiatives that increase equity of access for all people (e.g. digital or online delivery of services like tele-rehab for heart and stroke).
• Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): improve understanding of cardiovascular disease risk, including biological mechanisms, by identifying and quantifying system and individual mechanisms that contribute to variation and inequities in cardiovascular disease and stroke care, and risk management, particularly in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
• Stream 3 (Targeted Call for Research): support effective adoption and adherence to preventive health interventions for cardiovascular disease and stroke by addressing barriers to best-practice prevention for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, using co-design and culturally secure approaches.
• Stream 4 (Targeted Call for Research): accelerate equitable patient access to best care that results in best possible outcomes through improved identification and management of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people with critical, time-dependent events.
• Stream 5 (Accelerator): support large-scale projects aimed at improving survivorship and reducing morbidity.

Applications to this grant opportunity must propose research that addresses one of the five Streams of research.
