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.
