$152 Million Available to Support Medical Innovations and Consumer-Led Research
06 Mar 2026
The BioMedTech Incubator grant will provide up to $132 million to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) working on novel biomarkers, diagnostics, therapeutics, assistive devices, or digital health technologies. The aim is to help these SMEs advance early-stage research and make their innovations attractive to private investors. This funding comes from the MRFF’s Medical Research Commercialisation initiative.
The Consumer-Led Research grant will provide up to $20 million for projects where consumers and researchers work together to identify health priorities, test new approaches, and run pilot studies. Projects may focus on improving self-care, quality of life, or survivorship care for people with cancer, chronic conditions, or mental health challenges. This funding is part of the MRFF’s Preventive and Public Health Research initiative.
