GMRF Competitive Grant Round  -  Now Closed

The Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation Research Committee now invites applications from doctors, nurses and allied health staff of Greenslopes Private Hospital for financial grants to support research at this Hospital.  The Research Committee, Chaired by Associate Professor Charles Mitchell, consists of eminent researchers who are approved by the NHMRC to assess research funded by the Gallipoli Research Foundation.

The Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation Competitive Grant round process is designed to provide seeding grants to health practitioners of Greenslopes Private Hospital who are interested in pursuing research. The grants are in the order of $5000 to $20 000.  In 2007, over $100,000 was allocated to applicants.  Applications should address the assessment criteria below and these applications will be assessed by the Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation Research Committee in August 2008.  Applications that exceed $20 000 will not be considered.

Research must be consistent with the objectives of the Foundation, which are:

• To undertake research into the causes, prevention and cure of disease in the human population;
• To undertake and promote research projects in relation to health issues which are of particular relevance to the veteran community.
