Dear All,
NSW Health has implemented a new research grants scheme. The Translational Research Grants is a funding program available to staff within NSW LHDs, Ambulance Service of NSW and Speciality Networks. However, potential research and implementation partners for LHDs, SHNs and NSW Ambulance Service include universities, medical research institutes, research hubs, NGOs, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and Primary Health Networks. Funding will be provided for research and evaluation projects that translate into better patient outcomes, improve the delivery of health services and population health and wellbeing. Please find guidelines attached.
Thought I would provide some information about timelines, in case any of you are keen to pursue this opportunity with your LHDs.
- Funding will be allocated to the Host Organisation from 1 July this year.
- Expressions of interest and attachments must be received by 5pm, 15 Feb 2016
- Full applications and attachments must be received by 5pm, 25 April 2016
