Funding medical researchers to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms of disease

This grant provides funding for researchers to support small-scale development projects that investigate the common pathophysiological mechanisms and pathways of disease or disease-related complications, focused on cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Projects are intended to generate knowledge to support new diagnostics, devices and therapies for people living with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Eligible organisations seeking to generate knowledge to support new diagnostics, devices and therapies for people living with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Applicants can apply for more than one topic with different applications, but can only submit one application per topic.

For each topic, the top 2 ranked applications overall and the next 2 highest ranked applications led by early to mid-career researchers will be funded.

This grant opportunity is intended to support early stage, small scale research projects that seek to assess the potential and feasibility of novel strategies to address critical or intractable health issues.
