This year a special initiative in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health is being offered through NHMRC Partnership Projects, with support from the Department of Health. Special Initiatives are health areas in which additional funding from other parties is used to support research.
This special initiative provides the opportunity for community organisations that are contributing to health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to develop a relationship with a researcher, to strengthen the evidence in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and obesity research.
More information on the initiative can be found in Section 9 of the Partnership Projects scheme-specific funding rules available via the Partnership Projects Grant Opportunity on GrantConnect.
Applications for this opportunity opened in RGMS today, Wednesday 17 January 2018. We are hoping you might be able to help us promote this initiative on your website and via social media by re-tweeting NHMRC’s promotional tweet that was posted this morning. We are also hoping you will share this information with Indigenous researchers involved in your organisation.
We have included a blurb below to help with your communications activities:
