First Nations CVD Grant

This funding opportunity aims to support projects focused on producing high-impact improvements in cardiovascular health among First Nations people. The grant includes funding for an introductory research role for a First Nations person, embedded within the project with mentoring and guidance provided by the project's Chief Investigator. The goal is to encourage and sustain First Nations researchers within the cardiovascular health research community. Funding is provided for a period of three years and includes both project support and a capacity building stipend. The Chief Investigator A must be from an NHMRC Administering Institution and based in Australia for at least 80% of the funding period. It is highly recommended that the CIA is a First Nations Person or demonstrates how they are working closely with First Nations people for project co-design.
