MND Australia's research grant program provides research funding to:
- develop new treatments and ultimately a cure
- identify the causes of MND and accelerate our understanding of the disease
- improve care for people living with MND
MND Australia offers three types of research grants:
- Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
- Innovator Grants
- PhD Top-up Grants
Applications for the 2025 grant round have now closed. Grant applications for the 2026 round will open in July 2025.
Grant review criteria
The MND Australia Grant Review Criteria and Relative to Opportunity Guidelines are aligned with those used by the NHMRC, with appropriate adaptation for MND-specific research.
These guidelines provide detail and clarity around eligibility and reviewing considerations for career disruptions, different career paths and availability of resources.
Grant reporting requirements
MND Australia requires all funded researchers to submit six monthly progress reports and a final report and financial acquittal at the completion of a research project.
Progress and final reports need to be submitted at regular intervals. Please contact us at research@mndaustralia.org.au if you require login details to submit a report.
If you need to request an extension or variation to your project, please complete this form and email it to research@mndaustralia.org.au
