MRFF Covid-19 Mental Health Grant - NOW OPEN

MRFF have announced a new $3million Covid-19 Mental Health opportunity.  The objective of this opportunity is to support research to understand how the mental health system can be enhanced to be most effective and responsive during and following the acute COVID- 19 crisis. This may include consolidating data systems, helping to design and deliver new treatments, new services, and new policies both during and beyond the crisis.

The anticipated outcome of the research is to positively impact the lives of a significant number of Australians, especially those with pre-existing mental health issues and those with mental health issues arising from the COVID-19 crisis. The outcome of the research is also expected to have application beyond COVID-19 and extend to other natural disasters and widespread times of hardship.
