The aim of the Mito Foundation Translational Research Grant is to rapidly transform research discoveries into clinical practice. The Mito Foundation funds exceptional researchers who have the capability to turn around ground breaking research and start to make inroads into treatments.
Mito Foundation Translational Research Grants are charitable grants of up to A$100,000 per year for two years, offered to researchers to assist with their work on mitochondrial disorders.
