2023 TAGC Innovation Fund

The Advanced Genomics Collaboration 2023 Innovation Fund: Supporting the translation and commercialisation of genomic innovations.

Genomics-focused Commercial Innovation Projects are invited to apply for up to $2 million in funding for up to two years from The Advanced Genomics Collaboration (TAGC).  

Projects funded by this opportunity are required to:

• develop a commercial genomic based application, tool, diagnostic or service;  
• create new job and student opportunities; and,
• ultimately be spun out into companies and/or result in products that are licensed/acquired by industry (not necessarily during the two-year funding period).

‍

Who can apply for funding?

To be eligible applicants must be based at The University of Melbourne and MACH partner organisations, and include at least one University of Melbourne employee in the project team.
