Two mechanisms open to researchers anywhere: Incubator Grants for early-stage, innovative primary mitochondrial disease projects (the 2026 round funded 4 projects starting Jul–Oct 2026), and the Major Annual Grant Program for high-impact translational and clinical-trial-readiness research (the 2026 round ran jointly with UMDF).

Why it's in this index

Barth syndrome falls inside the primary mitochondrial disease scope both mechanisms fund, and there is no geographic restriction on applicants.

Who can apply

Explicitly open to Australian and overseas researchers.

How to apply

Apply via mito.org.au when rounds open; Incubator rounds recur annually.
