Location change for FHRI Fund March Open Day
Due to unforeseen circumstances the next WA Government’s Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund Open Day on Friday 8 March 2024 will now be held in Nedlands at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
The event will be hosted by the Office of Medical Research and Innovation in collaboration with the WA Centre for Rural Health and the Pilbara Aboriginal Health Alliance. The FHRI Fund Open Days provide an opportunity for attendees to hear about exciting WA health and medical research and innovation developments, FHRI Fund programs that are open for applications, as well as recently awarded FHRI Fund grant recipients.
Aligned with International Women’s Day on 8 March 2024, the Open Day will have a theme of ‘Women’s and children’s health’ with an emphasis on research and innovation in partnership with Aboriginal communities in the Pilbara.
For those attending in person, the event will also offer the unique opportunity to engage in interactive demonstrations by select finalists from The Challenge, who are pioneering ground-breaking solutions to improve health care delivery in the Pilbara.
Attendees will hear from distinguished speakers including FHRI Fund Advisory Council Members and other prominent speakers from the Pilbara, and the WA health and medical research and innovation community.
