Aussie-FIT is currently funded by a grant received from the National Heart Foundation of Australia (Award ID 106534).
The original Aussie-FIT pilot work was funded by Healthway (grant number 31953). Aussie-FIT for men with CVD was supported by Vanguard Grant (award number 103003) from the National Heart Foundation of Australia. Delivery of Aussie-FIT in regional areas of WA was funding by the Department of Health.
Aussie-FIT builds on the Football Fans in Training (FFIT) program, the development and evaluation of which was undertaken by a research team led by the University of Glasgow with funding from various grants including a Medical Research Council (MRC) grant (reference number MC_UU_12017/3), a Chief Scientist Office (CSO) grant (reference number CZG/2/504), and a National Institute for Health Research grant (NIHR) (reference number 09/3010/06). The development and evaluation of FFIT was facilitated through partnership working with the Scottish Professional Football League Trust (SPFLT).
