MRFF – Preventive and Public Health Research Initiative – 2025 Targeted Translation Research Accelerator – Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Risk Prediction and Data Solutions Grant Opportunity

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) – 2025 Targeted Translation Research Accelerator – Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Risk Prediction and Data Solutions Grant Opportunity will support research that:

  • Stream 1: conduct small-scale projects that identify predictive markers (including, but not restricted to, biomarkers) of disease or complications in:
    • Topic A: any type of diabetes, including atypical or mixed phenotypes
    • Topic B: cardiovascular disease in patients with type 1 diabetes
    • Topic C: cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
  • Stream 2: conduct multidisciplinary projects that use novel methods to harness multiple existing data infrastructure types in developing and implementing new approaches for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular disease, diabetes (types 1 and/or 2) and/or complications of these diseases. Two topics of funding are available, based on the disease foci:
    • Topic A: Focused on, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease
    • Topic B: Focused on, but not limited to, diabetes (type 1 or 2).

The anticipated outcomes of the research are to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by:

  • Stream 1: identifying predictive markers to improve risk stratification.  
  • Stream 2: generating new approaches to improve health care and health outcomes for people living with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and their complications.

This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

Further information on the MRFF is available from the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing’s MRFF website.
