The Indigenous Health Research Fund is investing $160 million in Indigenous-led research to tackle health issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

The 2026 grant opportunity will award $28.5 million through an open competitive process to an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Community-Controlled program for health research projects. 

A Working Group of the NHMRC-MRFF Indigenous Advisory Group, led by Professor Yvette Roe, has provided us with advice on the: 

  • design of the 2026 grant opportunity
  • assessment scoring matrix. 

We invite to you to: 

  • register for our webinar on 10 November 2025 to learn more about the grant opportunity
  • provide feedback on the draft grant opportunity guidelines and assessment scoring matrix through our consultation hub

Consultation closes on 28 November 2025.
