The National Health and Medical Research Council is calling for applications under the Development Grants program.

The scheme provides funding to undertake research at the early proof-of-principle or pre-seed stage. It supports the commercial development of a product, process, procedure or service that if applied, would result in improved health care, disease prevention or provide health cost savings.

Applications must demonstrate a basic understanding of the process and steps required to move from research to outcomes that can be commercialised, including:

  • the process and steps to a market, the nature of the market;
  • the milestones and risks of the venture; and
  • an understanding of possible means of handling intellectual property connected with the project.

UWA Closing date : 30 June 2010
External closing date : 14 July 2010
