WA Child Research Fund
The WA Child Research Fund (WACRF) program was jointly established by the Department of Health and the Channel 7 Telethon Trust in 2012 to fund health and medical research that focuses on the health of children and adolescents in WA.
The key aims of the WACRF are to:
- Fund research of direct significance to the health of WA children and adolescents.
- Promote the translation of research findings into evidence-based health policy and practice which will ultimately provide better health outcomes.
- Contribute to integrating research capability across universities, research institutes and health services by encouraging the development of research-policy-practice clusters.
Funded research activities may be wide-ranging but must address areas of direct significance to child and adolescent health. Research may include basic, clinical, health service, or population health.
Projects may be awarded up to $600,000 and must be conducted over a maximum of 36 months. Project selection will be based on competitive merit.
