Philanthropy - Health and Medical Research Linkage Program

Research Australia is building linkages between philanthropic organisations, individuals and researchers.  As part of our expanding services to members we have now launched our philanthropy register.

The philanthropy register will assist in identifying research opportunities that match the selection criteria provided by philanthropists.  It may also assist researchers identify philanthropic service providers.  To minimize administrative process the initial forms have been kept to a minimum and they should only take a few minutes to complete.  When potential matches have been identified further project specific information will be sought from the researchers and a review process commenced.

Researchers should provide as much detail as possible when completing the forms as this will aid in the identification of potential opportunities. You may register more than once.

Please note initial registration will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

Example questions for grant seekers include;

• What do you want to receive support for (e.g. equipment), how much and how would it be used?
• What is the duration of the funding and where would the research be conducted?
• Briefly outline your grant support.
• What key issue or need does this activity address and who will benefit?
• Is this a partnership initiative? Please provide brief detail.

Please note that the answers should be brief (100-150 words) and non technical.

The register follows on from the successful pilot program in 2008 that linked State Trustees with researchers resulting in the provision of $55,000 in philanthropic support to health and medical research.
