Funding for such priming programs will target two priority areas aimed at driving innovation and accelerating implementation into clinical practice:
- Stem cell therapies
- New treatments using human tissues made from stem cells
This grant opportunity is being administrated by NHMRC on behalf of the Commonwealth Department of Health. The total amount available is $6 million.
