Partnerships to boost impact of cancer research and healthcare innovation grant programs

The Co-Funding Partnerships Program (Co-FPP) was established to secure new funding for research and innovation in WA.

The Co-FPP enables partnerships to be established to develop new funding programs or maximise the impact of existing funding programs that are aligned with the Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund Priority Goals and that are funded by both partners.

The FHRI Fund has awarded $4.32 million to establish two co-funding partnerships, with funding to be matched by the partner organisations.

The FHRI Fund will partner with the Cancer Council WA to co-fund the Cancer Research Project Grant Scheme, which supports Western Australian researchers focusing on early-stage research ideas. This program will be administered by the Cancer Council WA and launched later in 2024.
 
The Royal Perth Hospital Research Foundation and the FHRI Fund will partner to maximise the funding awarded through the Research Innovation and Impact Grants program, which supports mid-career and senior researchers who are translating novel ideas into healthcare innovations.

The Royal Perth Hospital Research Foundation will administer the program, which is now open for applications and further details and updates can be found at the Royal Perth Hospital Research Foundation website.
