New Opportunities: Heart Foundation Strategic and COVID grants

New Opportunities:  4x Heart Foundation Strategic Grants
These grants aim to generate innovative and collaborative research projects in the areas where identified gaps in cardiovascular health exist, with a focus on four specific areas. Applications may relate to any research discipline (i.e. biomedical, clinical, public health, health services) or be multidisciplinary. All four grants will run in two stages, with stage one success required to progress to stage two.

The four (stage one) deadlines are:

  • 14 Aug 2020: Cardio-oncology
  • 14 Aug 2020: Predictive Modelling
  • 11 Sep 2020: Secondary Prevention
  • 11 Sep 2020: Women and Heart Disease

The total funding available is $8 million, distributed across the 4 topics. Individual grants can request up to $1 million, for projects lasting up to 3 years. Up to two grants will be awarded per topic. Lead applicants (CIA) must be Australian citizens or permanent residents, and can only lead one application to each topic, but can be named (as non-lead) on a different submission (even in the same topic). CIA eligibility is not formally restricted by career stage, but is "aimed at more senior researchers". Submission is via online portal, and requires MRO endorsement in the portal prior to the deadline. More details are available at the Heart Foundation website.

Research Development Support
The Research Development Team is available to provide advice to applicants on how to address the assessment criteria effectively and for strategic review of complete drafts. We encourage researchers to seek this support earlier rather than later, as capacity is limited and time should be allowed for a compliance check, as below.

New Opportunity: CVD and COVID-19 Grant
This grant supports research focused on COVID-19 and its interaction with heart conditions. The aim is to improve morbidity and mortality of outcomes for people with cardiovascular disease. Individual grants of up to $100,000 may be requested, for projects of up to 12 months. Applications require a single submission only, with this deadline:

  • 28 Aug 2020: CVD and COVID-19

Lead applicants (CIA) can be Australian/NZ citizens, Australian residents, or be in the process of obtaining residency. You may only lead one submission. Submission is via online portal, and requires MRO endorsement in the portal prior to the deadline. More information is available at the Heart Foundation website.
