Funding for Australian Researchers to improve the use of medicines by pharmacists
This MRFF grant provides funding for researchers and organisations to improve the safe and effective use of medicines through pharmacist interventions.
It supports research projects across four specified streams focused on pharmacogenomics, pharmacist collaboration at transitions of care, and pharmacist interventions in residential aged care.
An eligible organisation who can support innovative medical research projects to improve health benefits for Australians.
The grant is part of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and the Preventive and Public Health Research Initiative and will fund organisations to undertake research to support innovative approaches to improve the quality and cost‑effectiveness of preventive healthcare interventions.
Eligible projects must align with one of the four streams:
- Stream 1: assess the feasibility (including cost effectiveness, and acceptability by patients and prescribing health professionals) of pharmacogenomic interventions by community pharmacists designed to optimise medication prescription and use
- Stream 2: assess the feasibility (including cost effectiveness, scalability, and acceptability by patients and prescribing health professionals) of pharmacogenomic interventions to optimise the prescription and use of medicines for treating patients with cancer (oncology and supportive care)
- Stream 3: implement, validate, and cost approaches that involve community and hospital pharmacists collaborating to improve medication management at transition into the community
- Stream 4: implement, validate, and cost approaches for pharmacist interventions in residential aged care using objective patient focused indicators
