Targeted Call for Research: Cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity in dementia research 2022

Overview

A TCR is a one-time solicitation for grant applications to address a specific health issue and stimulate research into areas of national importance where there is a significant knowledge gap. A TCR specifies the scope and objectives of the research to be proposed, application requirements and procedures, and the review criteria to be applied in the evaluation of applications submitted in response to the TCR. The purpose of the TCR: Cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity in dementia research 2022 grant opportunity is to stimulate research that is inclusive of culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse individuals, conducted in a culturally safe and appropriate manner thus contributing to improving best practice approaches for dementia research conducted in Australia. The outcomes of the research will increase the quality and availability of dementia evidence, representative of all Australians, to inform future research, policy, programs, and health services. This will lead to the development of appropriate clinical pathways for the diagnosis, early intervention, treatment, and management of people from culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds with dementia as well as provide support for their families and carers. It will also enhance the design and relevance of future dementia research by increased engagement and recruitment of people from culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
