Bethlehem Griffiths Research Foundation (BGRF) funding in 2017 - APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

The Bethlehem Griffiths Research Foundation (BGRF) is now seeking applications from individuals or groups for financial assistance for specific research projects into progressive neurological diseases, stroke and palliative care in 2017 for one year only. Investigators requiring further funding will need to apply separately each year.

Interested researchers should note the shorter application period this year which closes at 5pm, Friday 15 July 2016. Late applications cannot be accepted this year.   Applications for PhD scholarships will not be considered at this time although they may be advertised early in 2017.

The Foundation is committed to maximising medical research and will not fund administrative overheads.

Project grants for sums between $20,000 and $50,000 will be considered. Applicants must be carrying out research in the State of Victoria and preference will be given to research projects which have an active link with Calvary Health Care Bethlehem.
