Interesting discussions on this. Just did some research on some of the available funding schemes.
Check out the listing here especially the section on funding.
https://www.invest.vic.gov.au/opportunities/research-and-development/victorian-research-and-developmentMost of the funding scheme shows a typical grant of up to a few $m.
A few suitable ones I've seen are:
1.
MRFF-
MRFF 2021 Clinical Trials Activity Grant Opportunityseems to be suited to our situation. Grant up to $3m.
-
MRFF 2021 mRNA Clinical Trial Enabling - also seems to be our cup of tea. Grant up to $5m.
2. CRC-P - seems to be suited to our situation? However, will be able to grant up to $3m
3. CRC - if they can apply for the medium-long term it might be up to 50% funding cost. - not sure if it's our context though.
All in all there is a few we are eligible for but they're capped at those amounts. Still great to be honest. Let's keep the research going.
