SUMMARY:NHMRC Ideas Grants
DESCRIPTION:The objective of the Ideas Grant scheme is to support innovative research projects addressing a specific question(s). \nThe expected outcomes are: \n\ninnovative and creative research\nfunding of researchers at all career stages\nfunding any area of health and medical research from discovery to implementation.\n\nIt is expected that the Chief Investigator A (CIA) will have the capability to lead the team in achieving the project aims. \nThe Ideas Grant scheme is not intended to support research where a clinical trial or cohort study is the primary objective. Applicants conducting projects which incorporate elements of clinical trial and/or cohort study must consider whether the project goals are more applicable to the Ideas Grant or Clinical Trials and Cohort Grant schemes. \nIdeas Grants may be funded by or in conjunction with other organisations. These grants offer opportunities to researchers whose work is particularly relevant to the priorities and research interests of the partner organisations. The amount of funding for an Ideas Grant is based on assessment of the requested budget. \nKey Dates\nApplications open: 11 March 2026\nMinimum data due date: 8 April 2026\nApplications close: 6 May 2026\nProposed peer review: June to September 2026 \nSEE WEBSITE

Clinical Investigators are awarded a once only grant of $90\,000. \nEligible applicants will be medical graduates or graduates of other clinical disciplines who have completed both their clinical and research training which will normally be at doctoral level and are commencing their first definitive clinical position\, or have been in such a post for no more than 36 months on 1 May of the year of application. \nApplicants should be actively engaged in clinical work and pursuing health and medical research in a university clinical department\, a teaching hospital\, a clinical research unit of a research institute or in an academic general practice setting. The applications will be judged predominantly on the quality of the applicant’s track record and career achievements to date. The quality of a brief research proposal will also be taken into account. \nKey Dates\nApplications open: 6 April 2026\nApplications close: 30 May 2026 \nThe Guidelines will be available here when the round opens. \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINESSEE WEBSITE

SUMMARY:NHMRC Partnership Projects
DESCRIPTION:The Partnership Project funding scheme provides funding and support to create new opportunities for researchers and policy makers to work together to define research questions\, undertake research\, interpret the findings and implement the findings into policy and practice. \n\nPartnership Projects create partnerships among decision makers\, policy makers\, managers\, clinicians and researchers and answer a specific research question to influence health and wellbeing through changes in the delivery\, organisation\, funding and access to health services. \nPartnership Projects will support collaborations\, within the Australian context\, that translate research evidence into health policy and health practice\, to improve health services and processes. \nThe objectives of the Partnership Project scheme are to: \n• Meet the need for more effective integration of research evidence into health policy and service delivery\n• Create partnerships among policy makers\, managers\, service providers and researchers\n• Provide support to answer often complex and difficult questions that policy makers\, managers and service providers face when making decisions and implementing policies that affect Australians’ health and health care\n• Be highly responsive to the priorities of government\, the community and health professionals\n• Enable applicants to apply for funding at any time during the year to allow researchers and Partner Organisations to develop timely collaborations. \n\nKey Dates for Peer Review Cycle 2:\nApplications open: 19 March 2026\nNHMRC-approved Administering Institutions waiver due: 8 July 2026\nMinimum data due: 22 July 2026\nApplications close: 5 August 2026\nPeer review meetings: 17-19 November 2026 \nKey Dates for Peer Review Cycle 3:\nApplications open: 23 July 2026\nNHMRC-approved Administering Institutions waiver due: 14 October 2026\nMinimum data due: 28 October 2026\nApplications close: 11 November 2026\nPeer review meetings: 2-4 March 2027 \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINESSEE WEBSITE
