MRFF Frontier Health Stage 2

Description:

The MRFF Frontier Health and Medical Research Program will provide grants to a total of $570 million over ten years to establish this landmark initiative. For the Stage One - Research Plan grant opportunity, $1 million in funding was provided to 10 multi-disciplinary teams including research and industry partners to work on novel and transformative ideas that will produce practical benefits to Australians and also globally.

The teams had 12 months to develop a detailed research plan to outline the activities, methods and partnerships required to transform the idea from concept to implementation in the health system.

Australia has the potential to lead markets and create new ones by applying cutting-edge science and technologies to new, first-in-world applications that improve human health. This program encourages Australia's best and brightest researchers to create talented and ambitious multi-disciplinary teams.

The program operates using a two-stage competitive process:

Stage One funded the development of detailed research plans for cutting-edge research projects.
Stage Two will fund the implementation of selected research projects.

Stage One

The Stage One grant opportunity funded 10 projects for one year to develop a detailed research plan. Applications for Stage One have closed.

Stage Two

Stage Two projects will enable selected research plans developed under Stage One to receive investment to develop their ideas. These ideas will revolutionise healthcare with new technological advances or approaches. Stage Two grants will vary depending on applicant requirements, but they would typically be in the range of $10 to $20 million per annum for 5 years.
