These support clinical or fundamental research projects focused on human gut microbiota related to health and disease.

The aim is to progress the understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to the variable clinical presentation of PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS).

Pfizer and the CanAge are collaborating to offer a new grant opportunity seeking grant proposals for programs that seek to explore innovative approaches to persistent challenges impacting older adults living with rare diseases.

This program supports an innovative and collaborative group of researchers working together to improve our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie bipolar disorder.

These grants are intended to facilitate research that will contribute to the development of new therapies or therapeutic strategies to treat CF, with an emphasis on advancing CFTR gene repair and replacement approaches.

The MDx Impact Grants aim to unlock the potential of PCR to democratise access to accurate diagnostic tests that improve patient outcomes.

The aim is to support innovative research that advances the clinical translation of biomaterial-based immune- isolation strategies for islet cell replacement therapy in T1D. Preference will be given to proposals that: Use GMP-compatible biomaterials to enhance clinical relevance, Include benchmarking against biomaterials/devices with prior clinical testing, Use large animal models and NHPs, Involve collaborations between teams that have tested devices in preclinical models and can compile data towards better mechanistic understanding of the FBR or Build on previous clinical studies and/or explanted devices to elucidate mechanisms of human FBR

The Well-Being in FTD Pilot Grant supports research to improve the well-being of persons diagnosed, families, and caregivers.

Grants awarded to investigators at the level of associate professor or higher with an established record of research and publications.

Applications addressing the priorities set out by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention’s Research.Prioritization Task Force are encouraged. Priority area research applications are reviewed along with the general pool of grant applications, with priority given to strong grants in the designated areas.

Awarded to investigators at any level, these grants provide seed funding for new projects that have the potential to lead to larger investigations. These grants typically entail feasibility studies rather than hypothesis- driven research. Examples include manual development and new biomarker development.

Grants awarded to investigators at or below the level of assistant professor. These grants must allocate a specified amount of their award for an established researcher to mentor the Early Career Researcher. AFSP is available to assist you in identifying a suitable mentor.
