$28.5 Million MRFF Grant to Support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research
06 May 2026
The 2026 Empowering Community-Controlled Research grant will fund an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisation or consortium to lead and support health and medical research projects.
The successful organisation will:
- Support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research projects and researchers, including through funding
- Strengthen research skills and leadership within the community-controlled sector
- Review the MRFF Indigenous Health Research Fund and help develop a Strategic Priorities Investment Plan to guide future funding decisions
The initiative supports recommendations from the Productivity Commission’s review of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, with a focus on self-determination in government-funded programs.
Funding will be provided through the MRFF Indigenous Health Research Fund.
More information about the grant opportunity is available through GrantConnect and the MRFF calendar.
