SUMMARY:MRFF Genomics Health Futures
DESCRIPTION:The objective of this grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support medical research and medical innovation projects that: \nStream 1 (TCR): develop genomic tools and technologies to identify genetic predisposition to cancer and improve screening and targeted intervention. Focus on increased access to genomic testing and on liquid biopsy. \nStream 2 (TCR): conduct scalable research to enhance novel gene discoveries\, increase diagnostic rates and enable disease modelling to support development of targeted therapies or prevention strategies. \nStream 3 (Incubator): develop novel methods for using polygenic risk scores to identify subgroups of the population at high risk of common and complex diseases (cardiovascular disease\, diabetes and other common and/or complex diseases). \nStream 4 (Incubator): develop novel methods for improving accuracy and usefulness of polygenic risk scores to stratify people with common cancers for surveillance and treatment (breast cancer\, colorectal cancer\, prostate cancer and other common cancers) \nStream 5 (TCR): undertake research to enhance or streamline uptake of clinical genomics into practice. \nStream 6 (Accelerator): develop and maintain infrastructure to support research collaboration by enabling data sharing\, portability\, longevity and connectivity of analysis across Australia. Research conducted should address emerging ethical\, legal and social issues associated with the governance of clinical and genomic datasets with particular focus on the application of advanced analytics (e.g. AI) to enhance the diagnostic utility of genomics. \nApplicants must propose research that addresses these objectives and those of the Genomics Health Futures Mission as outlined in the Roadmap and Implementation Plan. \nKey Dates \n\nMinimum data due date: 22 July 2026\nApplications close: 19 August 2026\nIndicative funding status: Funding anticipated to be awarded from June 2027 \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINESSEE WEBSITE
