MRFF – Emerging Priorities and Consumer Driven Research Initiative – 2024 Integrated Multidisciplinary Models of Primary Care Grant Opportunity
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – 2024 Integrated Multidisciplinary Models of Primary Care Grant Opportunity will support medical research and medical innovation projects that evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of new or existing models of integrated, multidisciplinary team-based primary care for people who would most benefit from this type of care, including but not limited to First Nations Australians, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people with disability including intellectual, children, older populations (either in residential aged care homes or those ageing at home), or those with social disadvantage or multiple chronic conditions.
Cross-jurisdictional collaboration, where relevant, is encouraged and projects should consider sustainability and scalability of solutions beyond the project.
Three streams of funding are available based on the health service provider or geographic location of the organisation undertaking the majority of the research:
- Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): The organisation undertaking the majority of the research must be located in any area according to the Modified Monash Model (MM1-7)
- Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): The organisation undertaking the majority of the research is located in, and the Chief Investigator A and 50% or more of all Chief Investigators, and all research participants, are primarily resident in, a rural or remote area according to the Modified Monash Model (MM3-7)
- Stream 3 (Targeted Call for Research): The organisation undertaking the majority of the research must be an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service.
The intended outcome of the research funded by this grant opportunity is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by generating knowledge on optimal models of primary care for Australians.
This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
Further information on the MRFF is available from the Department of Health and Aged Care.
