WSLHD Research & Education Network Grants 2025
The WSLHD Research and Education Network is pleased to announce their competitive research funding scheme for 2025.
These grants will be open to all researchers within the WSLHD including Auburn, Blacktown, Westmead and Mt Druitt Hospitals or other WSLHD entities. The goal is to foster a culture of basic, clinical and translational research and to assist with the career development and future external funding opportunities for all researchers.
Grant details
This round is being announced now to allow commencement of the awarded projects in July 2025. Six grants, up to $50,000 each, will be offered for one year. Two will be awarded for early career, two for mid-career and two for advanced career researchers in any discipline. The grants can support salary and other research costs but will not support travel costs to conferences.
