IHMRI is pleased to announce the second round of the 2016 IHMRI Grant Program.
Career Development Grant Scheme
Two grants of up to $10,000 are available in this scheme to support early career academic or clinician researchers (including health professionals) to develop their skills, expertise and research track records. See application form attached for more detail regarding eligibility and selection criteria.
Collaborative Project Grant Scheme
Two grants of up to $25,000 are available in this scheme to support collaborative research projects co-led by an academic and a clinician researcher (including health professionals) that target important health issues within the Illawarra community and address medically-relevant questions. Research can be conducted at IHMRI, The Wollongong Hospital, other ISLHD sites, or any combination of the three. Selection criteria and more details regarding the scheme are outlined in the application form attached.
Both grant schemes will be reviewed by a panel comprising the IHMRI Executive and key IHMRI clinician and academic researchers. Successful applications for each scheme will then progress to a second stage where they will have an interview and discussion with the IHMRI Executive. Grants are awarded for a 12 month timeline and expenditure is expected by the end of 2017.
Please see timeline below for submission, review and announcement for both grant schemes.
