Major Research Application Support Program

The 2023-24 Major Research Application Support (MRAS) Program provided in-principle financial support for research applications being submitted to nationally and internationally competitive grant funding rounds to boost their chance of success.

Through this, the MRAS Program aimed to enable the translation of research findings into new knowledge and improved health and wellbeing, address areas of need, and enhance WA’s standing as a leader in health and medical research.

Funding was disbursed when evidence was provided that the External Program application was successful, and an appropriate funding agreement had been executed.

There was no minimum or maximum limit per MRAS grant for submissions.
