NHMRC Partnership Projects

NHMRC Partnership Projects fund the translation of health research evidence into policy and service delivery. The scheme sits under NHMRC and is built around collaborations between researchers and the people who use the evidence, including policymakers, health service managers, and service providers. The program uses a continuous open call with multiple assessment rounds each year, including PRC2 and PRC3 in the 2026 calendar. It requires a consortium approach, is open to Australian universities and research organisations with nonprofit participation allowed, and the overview page does not publish a fixed award amount. This is the right route when a project is already embedded in a real service or policy problem and has committed partners ready to work with the research team. Applicants that can show practical uptake, shared delivery, and a clear pathway into decision-making are likely to be the strongest fit. The strongest proposals usually arrive with partner buy-in already visible, not implied.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
