In Round 1, eligible projects had to fall into one of the following areas: cancers (including lung cancer and mesothelioma) and diseases with high mortality and low survivability; paediatric acute care genomic research for clinically or critically ill children; or ethical, legal and social issues related to genomics in health care. The opportunity is delivered through two streams: Projects Grants, which fund research projects in cancers and high-mortality diseases and paediatric acute care genomics; and Ethical, Legal and Social Issues Research Grants, which fund projects focused on ethical, legal and social issues related to genomics in health care. The total funding available is $30 million over 3 years for the Projects Grants stream and $3.7 million over 3 years for the Ethical, Legal and Social Issues stream. For the Projects Grants stream, applicants can request between $500,000 and $5 million, up to 100% of eligible project costs.
