Purpose
The Development Grants scheme provides financial support to individual researchers and/or research teams to undertake health and medical research within Australia at the proof-of-concept stage that specifically drives towards a commercial outcome within a foreseeable timeframe.
Overview
The objectives of the Development Grant scheme are:
- to expedite the translation of health and medical research outcomes through to commercialisation, within a foreseeable timeframe.
- to support proof-of-concept research with a feasible commercialisation pathway and a high likelihood of producing protected IP.
- to provide a potential mechanism through which research outcomes can be progressed to a stage that makes them competitive to receive industry investment through other government schemes or from the private sector.
- to encourage collaboration between health research, the private sector and industry (domestic and international).
