PCRN Project Grants

Applications for PCRN Small Project Grants Initiative are currently CLOSED

The PCRN is committed to establishing a small project grant funding scheme to support early career researchers in the field of cancer and palliative care research. As Victoria’s state-wide Palliative Care Research Network, the PCRN provides both academic leadership and collegial support. In so doing the PCRN will assist with capacity building of the future cancer and palliative care research workforce and enable Victorians to receive world’s best practice cancer and palliative care.

PCRN Small Project Grants up to a value of $25,000 will be offered in 2017 for projects of 12 months duration.

These grants aim to enhance and develop palliative care and cancer research capacity within Victoria by providing:

  • seed funding for projects or funding for small/pilot projects whose results can be utilised as the basis for future large funding applications to external granting bodies;
  • funding for researchers who have previously not been active in research or who are at an early stage in their research career;
  • funding for research that will result in the submission of a manuscript or manuscripts for publication;
  • funding to support cross collaborative research and research involving collaborations with partners.

  • The applicant must be a PCRN member
  • The majority of the research funded must be completed within Victoria and;
