Springboard Plus Grants 2022

Springboard Plus Grants 2022

In 2022 RPH Research Foundation launched a new grant round Springboard Plus. Springboard Plus supports Early and Mid-Career researchers who are translating their ideas into clinical practice that could lead to a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of our community. 

This grant round was designed to allow researchers to follow leading observations and investigation of novel ideas into healthcare research. Originally RPH Research Foundation planned to fund a total of six Springboard Grant Projects.  

Due to the high calibre of applications, the RPH Research Foundation distributed 11 awards with a total value of $704,162 over two years. 

All successful recipients are also supported with access to the Foundation’s Biostatistical service, including statistical analysis, assistance with the interpretation of results and preparation of a manuscript, as additional in-kind support.
