Tender Description

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Dementia, Ageing and Aged Care Mission aims to improve outcomes for people living with dementia and older Australians.

The objective of this grant opportunity is to support Australian medical research and medical innovation projects that will:

  • conduct implementation research on preventive health care to:
  • better understand enablers and barriers
  • develop tools and strategies for improving access to and utilisation of care
  • conduct research to support early diagnosis and treatment of conditions that are prevalent among older Australians. The research should address stigma and include vulnerable populations
  • through a competitively selected national consortium identify the key components of high-quality care for older Australians and how these can be combined to ensure optimal care
  • improve care for older Australians by optimising informatics approaches that gather nationally representative data.

The intended outcome of the research is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by:

  • Stream 1 - Accelerator: identifying and implementing interventions to extend healthy, active years of life
  • Stream 2 - Targeted Call for Research(TCR): implementing appropriate support approaches that reduce stigma associated with dementia and enable better outcomes for older people, including those in vulnerable populations
  • Stream 3 - TCR: improving consistency and quality of care for older Australians across all care settings
  • Stream 4 - Incubator: supporting the development of more effective, evidence-based care approaches using data for older Australians in care.

Applicants must propose research that addresses one of the four Streams. An application may be submitted to one of the four Streams only.

This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health. Further information on the MRFF is available from the Department of Health website.
