The funding is being provided through the Government’s Million Minds Mission, a decade-long, $125 million investment to develop new approaches to prevention, detection and diagnosis treatment relating to mental illness.
It aims to assist an additional one million people who might not otherwise benefit from mental health research and trials.
The Million Minds Mission is part of the Government’s Medical Research Future Fund. The first round of funding provided $27.5 million for research into the mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, children and youth, and eating disorders.
The application process is managed by the National Health and Medical Research Council, and is advertised on GrantConnect.
