Purpose
The objective of the Ideas Grant scheme is to support innovative research projects addressing a specific question(s).
Overview
The expected outcomes are:
- innovative and creative research
- funding of researchers at all career stages
- funding any area of health and medical research from discovery to implementation.
The scheme provides particular opportunities for early- and mid-career researchers. It is expected that the Chief Investigator A (CIA) will have the capability to lead the team in achieving the project aims.
The Ideas Grant scheme is not intended to support research where a clinical trial or cohort study is the primary objective. Applicants conducting projects which incorporate elements of clinical trial and/or cohort study must consider whether the project goals are more applicable to the Ideas Grant or Clinical Trials and Cohort Grant schemes.
