MRFF – Preventive and Public Health Research Initiative - 2025 Incorporating Patient Data in Health Technology Assessment Decision Making Grant Opportunity
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – 2025 Incorporating Patient Data in Health Technology Assessment Decision Making Grant Opportunity will support medical research and medical innovation projects that:
- Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): develop consumer-informed approaches to generating and/or incorporating consumer/patient data across the health technology assessment lifecycle of medicines or vaccines.
- Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): develop consumer-informed approaches to generating and/or incorporating consumer/patient data across the health technology assessment lifecycle of medical devices.
- Stream 3 (Targeted Call for Research): develop scalable and sustainable approaches to evaluating the long-term effectiveness of highly specialised therapies, emerging medicines, or medicine-related health technologies, including the incorporation of patient reported outcomes.
- Stream 4 (Targeted Call for Research): develop approaches to generating and/or incorporating patient reported outcomes into the assessment of the long-term safety and efficacy and/or the material safety and biocompatibility of implantable devices.
The anticipated outcome of the research is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by:
- Stream 1 (Targeted Call for Research): enhancing health technology assessment and decision making through incorporation of patient data.
- Stream 2 (Targeted Call for Research): enhancing health technology assessment and decision making through incorporation of patient data.
- Stream 3 (Targeted Call for Research): improving evaluation of the long-term effectiveness of highly specialised therapies, emerging medicines, or medicine-related health technologies.
- Stream 4 (Targeted Call for Research): improving long-term safety and health outcomes for patients using implantable medical devices.
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.
