OVERVIEW

  • Up to $300,000
  • 2-3 years funding period
  • Multiple sites and multidisciplinary collaboration desirable
  • Additional funding for regional, rural and remote sites

Funding is available up to $300,000 per grant (up to $100,000 per year for a maximum term of three years), excluding funding requests for health economics.

Project grants may also contribute partial funding to a larger research project which is seeking funding from alternative source(s) (potentially elsewhere in Australia) such as the NHMRC or ARC or overseas agencies with the pre-approval of EMF.

Proposals that include collaboration across multiple sites and disciplines, in-kind support, leverage funding and/or health economic analysis are desirable; however, this does not preclude single site studies from applying.

Projects that include sites in regional, rural, or remote Queensland can request additional funding.
