MRFF Research Data Infrastructure Grants close 31 March 2025 – BioGrid can help!

• Stream 1 – Innovation enablers (grants up to $3 million are available).
  Addresses an area of unmet medical need by promoting the development and implementation of new research infrastructure by supporting development and/or expansion of research enablers such as biobanks, tissue repositories, novel research platforms, and secure health data environments to create valuable research resources.

• Stream 2 – Digitisation of health care (grants up to $3 million are available).
  Developing and translating into practice digital therapeutics, artificial intelligence enabled health interventions and technologies (e.g. wearables integrated into clinical practice), applications or other software for use in clinical practice.
• Stream 3 – Co-investment partnerships (grants up to $7 million are available)
  Utilising co-investment (cash only) with the research sector, state and/or territory governments, and industry, in significant critical research infrastructure (e.g. facilities, personnel and equipment):
  • to support development of research capacity, capability and/or effectiveness in an area of unmet medical need, or
  • to enable Australian research using new platforms, systems and services in an area of unmet medical need.

• Stream 4 – mRNA technology enablers (grants up to $4 million are available)
  Leveraging and enhancing emerging mRNA technologies, platforms, and/or equipment to accelerate development of mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics in an area of unmet medical need.

An application may only be submitted to one of the above four streams only. Applicants must specify the stream to which they are applying in their application.

Closing date for the grant round is 31 March 2025.

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.
