Closing Date: 16-Jan-2019
The NHMRC will shortly be calling for proposals for three Targeted Calls for Research (TCR):

1. Targeted Call for Research into Frailty in Hospital Care: Complex Health Needs
This Targeted Call for Research (TCR) aims to encourage research that addresses how frail persons can be supported to avoid hospitalisations, receive optimal care when admitted, and achieve the best health recovery outcomes, through integrated and coordinated in- and post-hospital interventions.

* Proposals open in Research Grants Management System (RGMS): 31 October 2018
* Minimum data requirements in RGMS: 16 January 2019
* Applications due to UQR&I: 16 January 2019
* Applications close with NHMRC: 30 January 2019

The TCR specific Funding Rules are available from Grant Connect; additional documentation will be released on grant opening. Teams are reminded that it is advisable that the ‘core team’ be finalised by the minimum data deadline as the NHMRC has previously advised that the Core team/CI team is not able to be changed after this date.

Minimum data for TCRs consists of the following
* General – Application Information: You must complete fields for: Administering Institution; Application Title; Synopsis and Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander Research (yes/no) and Consent to provide information to International Assessors

2. Nutrition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s health is a major health issue outlined in the NHMRC Corporate Plan 2017-2018. This TCR will be the third to be funded post a public call for research priorities in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health conducted in 2016.
