The Mito Foundation Research and Medical Grant Program funds high-impact research and clinical work to improve outcomes for people with primary mitochondrial disease (mito). Since 2010, we have invested over A$9 million in mito research worldwide. Learn more about our research impact.
Our research strategy, updated in 2024, guides how we fund, facilitate, and influence research to drive meaningful progress.
Developed in collaboration with our Scientific and Medical Advisory Panel and Mito Community Advisory Panel, this strategy ensures our work aligns with the needs and priorities of researchers, health professionals, and the mito community. Read our Community Engagement Approach for more information.
