Grant Opportunity: IRT Research Foundation

Closing Date: Friday, 30 October 2009

The purpose of the IRT Research Foundation is to fund health and medical research which has the potential to benefit older Australians. 

It is both privately funded and receives donations.  Launched in May 2009, the IRT Research Foundation provides research grants each year to an ever widening group of research categories. 

Expressions of Interest are invited for research grants of no longer than one year, which aim to benefit the aged and those who care for the aged.  These grants may be seed funding for projects that may expand to become eligible for more significant funding from other sources, or for research projects in their entirety.

Individual grants are valued up to $40,000 and are available for personnel and/or equipment/consumables. 

In order to qualify for the grants, applicants are requested to forward an EOI, demonstrating the benefit of the award to their research.
