MRFF Research Data Infrastructure Grants close 28 October 2024

The Australian Government’s MRFF 2024 Research Data Infrastructure Grant Opportunity is focussed on funding the creation or extension of national research data infrastructure to support world-class health and medical research in Australia. Grants of up to $2.5 million are available. The current round of grants is due to close on 28 October, so don’t delay in contacting BioGrid if you need data platforms, collection tools, linkage, analysis and reporting to assist you with your research project. 

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.  

MRFF has specified that 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 and area of unmet medical need.

Closing date for the grant round is 28 October 2024!

We invite anyone who is considering applying for a MRFF Research Data infrastructure Grant and would like our assistance to contact us early for a consultation – designing appropriate solutions can take some time and we want to help you get the best possible result.
