MRFF grant opportunity open until December 2025
September 23, 2025
The MRFF has a current grant opportunity that may be of interest to BioGrid members and collaborators.
The 2025 Research Data Infrastructure Grant Opportunity looks to fund the creation or extension of national research data infrastructure to support world-class health and medical research in Australia, and closes on 11 December 2025.
The objective of this grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support Australian medical research and medical innovation projects that use novel methods to harness multiple existing data infrastructure types in developing and implementing new approaches for addressing an unmet medical need.
Research proposals should incorporate:
- new linkage and/or use of data from multiple (at least two) existing research data infrastructure sources of different types (e.g. administrative and biobank data, registry and biobank data, wearables and use artificial intelligence); and/or
- novel methodologies and approaches that leverage and enhance existing linked research data infrastructure of at least two different types (e.g. administrative and biobank data, registry and biobank data, wearables and use artificial intelligence); and
- a clear outline of how the proposed project will produce knowledge and outcomes that address an area of unmet medical need.
BioGrid can assist with grant submissions
BioGrid regularly works with researchers during the grant application process to develop data and technology solutions to bring their project ideas to life, and we have been involved with a number of successful applications in the past, including the EINSTEIN (Enhancing Infection Surveillance to Transform Excellence In National cancer care) and National Cancer Cohort Platform projects.
BioGrid can provide data platforms, collection tools, linkage, analysis and reporting to assist you with your research project, and we encourage researchers to include funding for BioGrid in your grant application.
We invite anyone who is considering applying for a MRFF Research Data infrastructure Grant and would like our assistance to contact us now – designing appropriate solutions can take some time and we want to help you get the best possible result.
