Early-Mid Career Grants

Promoting participation of early-mid career researchers in high quality research projects across the spectrum

The Early-Mid Career Grants (formerly Early-Mid Career Fellowships) seeks to fund early-mid career researchers who are ready to take their career to the next level by building and leading a multidisciplinary team which brings together expert researchers and clinicians with other key stakeholders to maximise research impact.

The Grants aim to:

  • fund research excellence among EMC researchers in NSW
  • fund research that improves wellbeing and health outcomes for patients
  • embed high-quality, innovative research in the NSW health system
  • encourage collaboration, leadership and capacity building in the NSW research environment
  • support EMC researchers to gain research grants and fellowships from bodies such as the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australian Research Council (ARC) and Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF)
  • bridge the gap between research, policy and practice to increase and document research impact and translation.
