All Research Support Grant applications are required to demonstrate cross disciplinary collaborations (e.g. across medical, allied health, nursing departments, and basic/clinical research) that strengthen collaborative research across Metro South Health (MSH). Research proposals must demonstrate potential for the research to be translated into improved health outcomes.

Small Grants ($25,000) are provided as seed funding for studies that will have the potential to build capacity. Three (3) grants may be funded by SERTA

Project Grants ($75,000) are provided as stand-alone support for defined projects with potential to result in future NHMRC (or similar) grants. Project Grants demonstrating Metro South Health (MSH) multi-site collaborations that strengthen collaborative research within MSH will be highly regarded. Three (3) grants may be funded by SERTA

Health Systems and Health Economics Project Grant ($75,000) specifically supports defined projects focusing on health systems and health economics. One (1) grant may be funded by SERTA.
