Find out more bout the Study, Education and Research Trust Account (SERTA) which provides funding for research, education and professional development activities.

The Collaborative Research Grant Scheme is delivered by Gold Coast Health in collaboration with Gold Coast Hospital Foundation, Griffith University, Bond University and Southern Cross University.  The research grant scheme is a competitive grant program which provides support up to $100,000 for research projects of one to three years’ duration.

The aim of this grant scheme is to support innovative, collaborative and responsive health care research that optimises our system of health care.

The 2021 round of the grant scheme is now closed for Expressions of Interest (EOI).

The scheme involves a two-step application process. Following review of the EOIs by members of a panel, applicants with a successful EOI submission will be invited to prepare a full application.

A formal announcement of all grant recipients for 2021 will be made in November.
