NHMRC Clinical Trials and Cohort Studies Grants

The NHMRC Clinical Trials and Cohort Studies Grant scheme funds high-quality clinical trials and cohort studies that address important gaps in knowledge and generate findings that can be implemented to improve human health. Proposals may include trials or prospective or retrospective cohort studies of any size. Funding supports research activity rather than ongoing infrastructure and requires milestone reporting annually. In 2025, this scheme was altered so the consumer and community involvement criteria will have a weighting of 20% of the overall score. See archived opportunity GO7814 for details
