Funding opportunities and funding updates for CAHS researchers

Research funding opportunities

CAHS strives to support our staff and collaborators to attract research funding for work that is aligned with our vision for healthy kids, healthy communities.

Information about our grants funding process and the support we can provide is outlined below and is regularly updated to reflect current opportunities.

This process applies to CAHS staff and any external collaborators (including Telethon Kids Institute employees) who intend to conduct research activity on-site at CAHS, or research work that involves in-kind support from CAHS staff or resources.

If you are considering any grant funding opportunity or you have any queries relating to grant funding please email us. 

Funding Opportunities
Sign-up for the CAHS Funding and events newsletter to receive regular updates on paediatric research funding opportunities. You can also check the CAHS intranet (for WA Health employees only) to access archived newsletters.

Telethon Trust 2022

The 2022 Telethon Trust Grants call will open on the 1 July 2022. CAHS as a lead organisation is restricted to submit five applications.

• Prior to submission you must make sure all sections are complete and you have sign off from your HOD.

CAHS EOI internal review:
• Applications will be reviewed by an internal panel invited from CAHS Research and CAHS Innovation leadership groups. This panel will include staff members who have been successful with the Telethon Trust.
• The internal panel will review each EOI against four criteria: Project Quality, Feasibility, Impact, and Benefits.
• The Panel outcomes will be reviewed and the final five EOIs proceeding to full application will be endorsed by the Executive.

Submission Timeline:

CAHS internal EOI submission deadline: COB 22 June 2022

How to get grants sign-off from CAHS

For all grant submission opportunities

Talk to us as early as possible, we are here to help. We can help you find opportunities and advice on how to approach and prepare. For help and advice, please contact  CAHSResearchGrantsOfficer@health.wa.gov.au

Complete the CAHS Grants coversheet at least 3 weeks prior to the funder submission deadline. This is to be used for all grant applications using CAHS staff time or resources (including CAHS data) and includes applications being submitted by external collaborators.

First step:

  1. Check with your HoD to ensure they support your proposal. This is especially important if your proposal includes use of your paid time or any departmental resources.
  2. Before you start your application - meet with the CAHS Biostatistician or CAHS Research Co-ordinator if you require any support for the application, policy, funder requirements and letters of support.
  3. Draft your application form and budget – complete the CAHS FTE Costing calculator (for WA Health employees only, – scroll down to ‘Finance tools’ then click on FTE calculator). Seek support from the CAHS.ResearchBusinessSupport@health.wa.gov.au if needed.
  4. Complete the CAHS Grants Coversheet and attach the funder application form.

 

Second step: get the approvals and signatures required prior to submission.

1. Submit your final application documents to CAHSResearchGrantsOfficer@health.wa.gov.au so we can coordinate approvals and signatures required prior to submission to the funder:

• HoD approval: requires 7 working days
• CAHS Executive: requires 7 working days
• CAHS Finance: requires 4 working days
• Research Manager or Director of Research: requires 4 working days.

2. We complete final checks and normally submit your application on your behalf (online/hard copy). In circumstances where you submit the proposal, this must be done with the required approvals in place and you must provide us with the final application documents
