Researchers across Australia are invited to apply for up to $5.77 million of funding to investigate new and innovative ways to combat alcohol abuse, obesity and smoking.
Minister for Health and Ageing Nicola Roxon said the new grants provide an opportunity for further research and innovation in supporting Australians to lead healthier lifestyles.
“Research and innovation are key drivers in delivering better health outcomes for Australians,” Ms Roxon said.
“With rising rates of chronic disease there has never been a more important time to pursue new and innovative ways to combat preventative diseases.
“The Gillard Government wants to keep Australians healthy and out of hospital which is why we have invested $872 million in health promotion, the largest commitment to preventative health any Australian Government has ever made.
The Australian National Preventive Health Agency (ANPHA) if offering the research funding under the new National Preventive Health Research Grants Program.
Up to $5.77 million is available to strengthen the preventive health and health promotion evidence base and supporting evidence based decision making.
The Grants Program was developed by ANPHA with advice from the National Health and Medical Research Council.
Information about how to apply, including application templates and guidelines are available on the ANPHA website at www.anpha.gov.au. Applications must be received by 2pm AEST Friday 30 September.
