PHCRED Grants and Awards
|
|
The PHCRED Strategy also funds a variety of primary health care research grants and awards administered through the NHMRC. These programs provide research training and experience for early, mid and senior level researchers and include the funding of both investigator and priority driven research relevant to both policy and practice.
Grants for primary health care research
In May 2007 the Australian Government announced more than $10 million in grants for primary health care research as part of the Government's PHCRED Strategy.
The media release containing details of these grants is available on the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing website.
PHCRED mid-level Research Fellowships
The PHCRED Senior Research Fellowship program was developed to provide an opportunity for outstanding researchers currently working on programs of primary health care research who wish to take time out from their academic duties to focus on their research careers. Successful applicants for these Fellowships (available on a full-time basis for a period of 4 years) were announced in May 2007 (view media release containing a list of these successful applicants).

Primary Health Care Scholarships and Fellowships
This program was established in 2001 to provide support for mid-level researchers – those researchers with basic skills, who wish to consolidate and extend their skills and experience. Scholarships aim to encourage primary health care graduates to obtain formal training in primary health care related research, and Fellowships provide support for post-doctoral research.

Priority Driven General Practice Clinical Research Program
This program aims to build research capacity and expand the knowledge-base in priority areas of clinical General Practice, while at the same time providing a vehicle for the provision of new knowledge to underpin primary health care policy and practice.
Specifically the goals are to:
- produce new knowledge in clinical General Practice that is high quality, policy- and practice-relevant, and targets agreed priority areas; and
- build research capacity in clinical General Practice.
