About
Are you a Researcher interested in applying for the Women and Infants Research Foundation (WIRF) Acceleration Awards program?Vicki Main, WIRF's Research Talent Development Officer, is facilitating an online information session for ECU Researchers.
About the WIRF Research Acceleration Awards:
The initiative seeks to support basic and translational research exhibiting strong potential to drive improvements in the health and wellbeing of women, mothers and babies. WIRF seeks to achieve this objective through the funding of high-quality research studies, and the development of world-class investigators, within Western Australia. In addition to its core priority areas of preterm birth, obstetrics and gynaecology, the Foundation enthusiastically seeks to support a diverse body of research (i.e. nursing, maternal mental health, midwifery, allied health, rare diseases, femtech, clinical audit) relevant to the enhancement of women’s, maternal and newborn health.
Applications must be in an area aligned with the Foundation’s above research objectives, directly relevant to the enhancement of maternal and newborn health and undertaken in Western Australia. For more information about the program, visit: https://wirf.com.au/our-research/grants-funding/
What past ECU recipients say:
“Being a WIRF grant recipient meant so much to me and my team to continue to progress our work. WIRF not only supported the work through funding, but offered help through other opportunities that promoted the work including through their podcast, presentation and demos at their annual event, and through introductions to other interested parties. Was by the far the friendliest and most supportive relationship between a funding body and a recipient I have been a part of!” ~ A/Prof Brennen Mills, ECU's SMHS
