Collaboration and Exchange Grant

The Collaboration and Exchange Grant encourages Heart Foundation fellows and scholars to visit research facilities in Australia and overseas to develop collaborations, exchange knowledge, develop skills and encourage innovation. The grant supports research facility visits that can be combined with conference attendance to maximize value. Visits to facilities in Australia are within scope but must be remote from the applicant's location and assessed case-by-case. The grant provides up to $5,000 to support activities for up to six months, covering legitimate travel-related expenses including airfares, accommodation, food, and conference registrations. Applications are only open to recipients of Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowships, Postgraduate Scholarships, and First Nations CVD Grants who are currently receiving funding or whose funding ended within the past 12 months. Travel must take place between 1 January 2027 and 31 December 2027, and the grant can only be received once per Fellowship, Scholarship, or First Nations CVD Grant.
