The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) 2024 grant opportunity is focused on implementation research to address management of multiple long-term conditions in the context of non-communicable diseases.
Together with other GACD member agencies, NHMRC is inviting investigators to submit applications for implementation research that aims to improve the availability of effective, equitable, efficient, integrated, patient-centred, safe, and timely care for people living with multiple long-term conditions including non-communicable disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and/or in disadvantaged populations in high-income countries (HICs).
For NHMRC funding support in HICs, research must focus on Indigenous population groups. In Australia, research must focus on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities.
