Flinders Foundation is proud to offer the grant round to support health researchers from Flinders University and the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network, made possible thanks to generous donations, campaigns from partners such as Foodland, Drakes Supermarkets and Mr Riggs, attendance at events like the Pink Yellow Blue Ball and participation in Lightsview Ride Like Crazy and Cycle Cambodia to Cure Cancer.

Up to $25,000 in seed funding is available to get each research project off the ground, bust myths and confirm hypotheses. The seed funding will enable researches to produce preliminary data to apply for larger grants from national and international funding bodies.

Incredible support has enabled Flinders Foundation to provide seed funding grants for many years. And records show that it’s working, with about 40 per cent of researchers who receive Flinders Foundation seed funding going on to win grants on a much larger scale, enabling many research discoveries and advances in health to be made at Flinders.

Applications must be lodged by 5pm on Wednesday, 20 June 2018 via email to the Flinders University Research Development and Support Office at research.grants@flinders.edu.au.

The application form and guidelines can be downloaded from the Flinders Foundation website.
