Funding for Clinicians to undertake important research
Four successful recipients of Clinician Research Fellowships (CRF) have been granted a total of $1.36 million.
The CRF Program provides support to WA Health employees so they can pursue high-quality research projects that will lead to better outcomes in Western Australia’s public health system, while continuing to perform some of their clinical duties.
The CRF Program is a joint initiative of the Future Health Research and Innovation Fund and the Raine Medical Research Foundation.
Health experts involved in clinical duties, including allied health and health sciences, dental, medical, nursing and midwifery professions, are eligible to apply for the Program.
The initiative covers the costs of back-filling some of the Fellows’ clinical work and can be for up to three years, depending on the research proposal.
Further information about the CRF Program recipients can be found at Past Recipients - Clinician Research Fellowships (external link).
