Current Grant Opportunity View - GO7114

NHMRC and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) are participating in a bilateral call for a new phase of funding for the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA), which is funded by CIHR and partners.

NHMRC will support Canadian-Australian collaborative teams undertaking research that advances the field of research in any of the recognised forms of dementia, specifically in Indigenous populations, focusing on either:

• The development, implementation, evaluation and/or scaling of Indigenous-led, and/or culturally appropriate and Indigenous-grounded approaches to risk reduction, early detection, diagnosis and assessment of age-related neurodegenerative diseases; and/or
• The development, implementation, evaluation and/or scaling of Indigenous-led, and/or culturally appropriate and Indigenous-grounded approaches to different models of care for age-related neurodegenerative diseases in Indigenous Peoples and communities.

CIHR is providing a Partner Linkage Tool that is intended to facilitate connections between researchers and knowledge users. This is not a mandatory tool. The table will be updated weekly until the application deadline. If you would like to use this tool, please complete a short survey. The information you provide will appear on a public CIHR web page. Please note that potential applicants are not required to use the linkage tool or contact those who have submitted their information.

Applications must satisfy all the requirements set out in the 2024 NHMRC-CIHR CCNA Grant Guidelines.

Eligibility is dependent on the following:

• The Chief Investigator A (CIA) and their associated Australian Administering Institution must be named as a Principal Applicant in the CIHR application submitted to the CIHR ResearchNet.
• The Canada-based NPA of the CIHR collaborating project must be listed in the research team as the CIB in the application to NHMRC.
• Other Australia-based researchers listed on the CIHR application must be identified as CIs (CIC-CIJ) or Associate Investigators (AIs) in the application to NHMRC.
• The CIA and the Administering Institution must ensure applications and grants meet all eligibility requirements as set out in the guidelines.
• The corresponding CIHR application has met CIHR specific eligibility requirements in the CCNA Phase III: Research Teams call text

Applications will only be accepted from NHMRC approved Administering Institutions. A list of NHMRC approved Administering Institutions is available at:
