MRFF – Primary Health Care Research Initiative – 2021 Primary Health Care Digital Innovations Grant Opportunity

Overview

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Primary Health Care Research Initiative aims to enable or support an increase in Australia’s evidence base in primary health care through research to improve service delivery and patient outcomes and translate this knowledge into action. The objective of this grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support Australian medical research and medical innovation projects that develop novel digital health tools and technologies to improve access to primary health care services in disadvantaged and/or vulnerable populations (for example, migrant communities, people living with disabilities, lower socioeconomic communities, and rural and regional Australia). The intended outcome of the research funded by this grant opportunity is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by improving equity of access to high quality primary health care through digital health innovation. This grant opportunity is being administered by NHMRC on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health.  Further information on the Medical Research Future Fund is available from the Department of Health website.
