FightMND is pleased to invite a call for National Research Infrastructure Grant applications focused on establishing, strengthening and sustaining national-scale infrastructure for motor neurone disease (MND) research in Australia.
About
The National Research Infrastructure grant addresses the underfunding of research infrastructure in Australia and supports projects focused on advancing nationalised and sustainable research infrastructure for MND.
The objective of the grant is to increase investment into innovative projects that:
- support the most critical infrastructure for MND research; and/or
- build partnerships focused on the co-development of research infrastructure.
Support from FightMND is offered between a value of AUD $350,000 to $2,000,000 with a project performance for 3–5-years.
Partnership applications are strongly encouraged with shared funding proposals. FightMND will match up to the level of the highest partner in cash investment, up to a total value of $2 million.
Co-funding from non-partnering organisations and sources is also encouraged and not subject to the FightMND match clause required for partnerships.
FightMND only supports work carried out in legitimate research institutions and/or organisations, that meet best-practice and ethical standards.
