Scheme/ Round

Research Support Grants - NHMRC Partnerships for Better Health - Projects

Aim

This funding scheme provides funding and support to create new opportunities for researchers and policy makers to work together to define research questions and undertake research and also to interpret and implement the findings.

Partnership Projects will answer a specific research question to influence health and well-being through changes in the delivery, organisation, funding and access to health services.

Changes to the scheme for 2012

NHMRC has changed the arrangements for this scheme to allow applicants to apply at any time during the year rather than through just one annual round. As each round closes, the next round will open on the following day. Three rounds are planned to open during 2012 with the first round due to open on 18 April 2012. The peer review process has been streamlined to allow multiple rounds during the year. The grant commencement date will not be fixed for 1 January - it will be aligned with the timing of each round. Therefore, funding will be provided more quickly after grants are awarded/announced and when all necessary documentation is in place.
