Overview
This Special Research Grants Program aims to empower frontline clinicians in regional, rural and remote Queensland in the management of trauma patients. Clinician-researchers will be offered support in their navigation of the research path, to ensure that their ideas and voices are heard.
This program aims to:
- fund research to create an evidence base for the best emergency care of trauma patients, in particular road trauma patients, in regional, rural and remote Queensland
- identify key barriers to optimal emergency care for trauma patients and solutions to overcome those barriers through the translation of research findings into evidence-based health policy and practice
- build research capacity for trauma and emergency healthcare clinicians in regional, rural and remote Queensland.
In the most recent Grant Round 2, two projects were selected for funding. Read more here.
