The purpose of this funding is to provide up to three years of support for research projects. 

Funding is available up to $300,000 per grant (up to $100,000 per year for a maximum term of three years), excluding funding requests for health economics.

These grants may also contribute partial funding to a larger research project which is seeking funding from alternative source(s) (potentially elsewhere in Australia) such as the NHMRC or ARC or overseas agencies with the pre-approval of EMF.

Proposals that include collaboration across multiple sites and disciplines, in-kind support, leverage funding and/or health economic analysis are desirable; however, this does not preclude single site studies from applying. In Round 43 of the Queensland Research Program, EMF is issuing a special call for projects aiming to improve emergency healthcare for First Nations people (see guidelines for further details).
