Project & Equipment Grants

Project & Equipment Grants support research projects in any field relevant to human health, including basic biomedical sciences. Project Grants provide limited research support for individuals or groups working in any health-related sciences, including the fields of public health and health education. Support is usually sufficient to provide only for running costs of the research and/or some necessary equipment, but limited salary support may also be provided on special justification. Equipment Grants assist with the purchase of larger equipment items for shared use within a research institution. These grants normally provide funds for up to one year, although two year grants will be considered where justified. The maximum for a Project and Equipment grant is $25,000, although the majority of successful applications receive lesser amounts as grants-in-aid. The Trust gives preference to graduates with a proven record of research productivity and access to suitable facilities for their research.
