Together with other Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) Associate Members, NHMRC is inviting investigators to submit applications for implementation research maximising collaboration and coordination with sectors and in settings beyond the healthcare system to tackle chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (as defined by the World Bank) and/or underserved populations in high-income countries (HICs). For NHMRC funding support in HICs, research must focus on Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities. The objective of the 2026 NHMRC-GACD grant opportunity is to fund implementation research focused on strategies leveraging opportunities provided by settings and sectors beyond the health system in LMICs and/or for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. While the focus is on settings outside of the healthcare system, collaboration with the relevant healthcare system(s) as part of the project is expected to facilitate effective design and knowledge mobilisation.
