Queensland Research Program

Announcement: Round 33

Updated 1 April 2020.

EMF acknowledges the dedication, hard work and immense pressure faced by emergency department staff and all healthcare professionals, and the unique challenges the COVID-19 pandemic is posing for our grant applicants.

After careful consideration, EMF has reviewed requirements for Round 33 and reached the decision that the closing date of 17 April 2020 will remain unchanged. This decision was reached to avoid delaying the distribution of research funding, which is even more important in the present circumstances.

What this means:

• We will continue to accept and review applications, to allow our clinician-research community to commence their next research projects as soon as possible.
• EMF is waiving the requirement for applicants to provide proof of HREC approval or submission of an application to a HREC at the time of their grant application. This applies to Round 33 only.
• Further, a certification document will not be required when applying for Round 33.
• Successful grant applicants will be asked to provide ethics approval and fully signed certification document before EMF will enter into a Funding Agreement and release funds.

If you have any questions relating to Round 33, please discuss with EMF Research Manager, Dr Angie Nguyen Vu on (07) 3720 5700 or email grants@emfoundation.org.au.

Please also continue to stay in touch with EMF via Twitter and Facebook, as well as the website and research newsletters, for information and updates as they happen.

On behalf of the EMF Board and team, our thoughts and thanks are with you. We hope you and your families remain safe and well.
