The Victorian
Medical Research Acceleration Fund will provide $3 million per
annum to help address current market gaps and deliver rewards for research.
Funding is divided into two tiers.
Tier 1 funding is for proposals
up to $100k. It supports early stage innovations including discovery
research, clinical research and health practice, or an idea or innovation to
attract peer review funding or investment by industry.
Tier 2 funding is for proposals
up to $500k. It supports a small number of research proposals
to ‘fast track’ translation into health and economic outcomes. Matching funding
will be required to demonstrate capacity to collaborate and undertake research
that has a clear pathway to translation.
