COVID-19 research funding – applications invited

Hand with a pen checking research data

We are very pleased to invite Expressions of Interest for grants of up to $100,000 to support ground-breaking research into COVID-19 at Monash Health.

Through the great work of the Monash Health Foundation, funds totalling more than $450,000 have so far been raised through its public appeal to support COVID-19 research.  The success of this appeal is testament to both the strength of the research underway at Monash Health and our community’s willingness for us to continue to guide them through the pandemic with high-quality and timely care.

As set out in the COVID-19 Funding Application guide, eligible research studies must be directly relevant to COVID-19 and must provide outcomes that will either improve:

  • patient health and wellbeing at either an individual or population level; or
  • health service delivery to provide safe and high quality care for affected or at risk patients.

Completed applications must be submitted to research@monashhealth.org by no later than 11:59 pm on Monday 14 September 2020. Late applications will not be considered.  An expert panel will be convened to assess submissions and make recommendations for funding to meCOVID funding application guide – Foundation – final
