Upcoming Grant Opportunities from the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF)
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) is a cornerstone of health and medical research funding in Australia, providing significant opportunities for researchers and companies to advance their work and contribute to public health.
One of the standout aspects of the MRFF’s approach to funding is its commitment to planning and publishing funding rounds. Unlike many funding bodies, the MRFF puts forward clear calendars for funding opportunities well in advance, allowing applicants ample time to prepare high-quality submissions. This foresight is invaluable for researchers and organisations looking to align their projects with the fund’s strategic priorities.
Below is an overview of the upcoming and currently open grant opportunities, along with important details on eligibility, application requirements, and how we can support your submission.

Broad Eligibility and Alignment with the MRFF
To increase your chances of success, it is crucial that your grant application aligns with the MRFF's strategic priorities. These priorities focus on addressing significant health challenges and enhancing Australia’s health research capabilities. Projects that closely align with these priorities demonstrate a higher potential for impact and are more likely to receive funding. Many programs are also reward consumer/patient engagement as part of development of proposals and project delivery.
While MRFF grants are frequently awarded to projects led by universities and research institutes, private companies can also apply. At Intellect Labs, we have worked with our industry clients to lead successful bids under multiple MRFF streams. This inclusivity opens the door for innovative solutions from a diverse range of sectors to contribute to Australia’s health research ecosystem.
