Ignition Grants Program

The RPH Research Foundation is proud to announce the launch of our 2025 Ignition Grants Program, offering up to $100,000 per project in seed funding to support novel early-stage research projects with strong links to the East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS). 

Applications are open to early and mid-career researchers with a clear path to clinical application and potential for future funding (e.g., NHMRC).

With a total funding pool of $500,000, this program is designed to ignite innovation across the EMHS and support the next generation of research leaders.

Applicants can submit projects up to $100,000 for a period of 2 years.
