The foundation currently offers the following funding opportunities:
· AMDF PhD
Top-up Scholarships
o AMDF support
students by providing a flexible scholarship program. Recipients of these
scholarships can, and do, investigate a range of different areas, but they all
have one ultimate goal – to be part of the solution in finding a cure and
effective treatment for mitochondrial disease. AMDF PhD scholarships “top-up”
researcher’s existing NHMRC, ARC or similar scholarship.

· AMDF
Incubator Grants
o AMDF Incubator
Grants facilitate preliminary investigation and enable the researcher to reach
a point where they are then eligible to apply to external/independent bodies
for funding to complete their research. AMDF Incubator Grants up to $25,000 are
awarded for projects up to 12 months duration.

· AMDF
Research Equipment Grants
o Research equipment
grants are available to researchers who are unable to access certain pieces of
equipment that are vital, or would greatly advance their work. AMDF Research
Equipment Grants up to $50,000 aim to supplement the funding provided by the
laboratory or other funding sources for the purchase of the equipment.

· AMDF
Translational Research Grants
o The aim of the AMDF
Translational Research Grants is to rapidly transform research discoveries into
clinical practice. AMDF fund exceptional researchers who have the capability to
turn around ground breaking research and start to make inroads into treatments.
AMDF Translational Research Grants are up to $150,000 per year for two years

· AMDF
Clinical Trial Infrastructure Grants
o Clinical trials in
mitochondrial disease are almost non-existent in Australia. AMDF is eager for
more pharmaceutical companies to see Australia as a viable location to conduct
clinical trials. For Australia to be a candidate for clinical trials,
infrastructure must be in place. This infrastructure can include venues and
staff to run the trial, Internet resources, and bio-banking facilities. AMDF
Clinical Trial Infrastructure Grants are up to $75,000 per year for three
years.
· AMDF Project
Grants
o One of AMDF’s key
goals is to boost research into mitochondrial disease. In some instances this
research may not fit neatly into one of the prescribed AMDF research funding
opportunities. AMDF will consider all applications for funding to support the
highest quality research in the field of mitochondrial disease.
