Deadline: 14 August 2024
The NSW Government is pleased to announce the Accelerated Research Implementation Grants for evidence-based projects that focus on at least 1 community identified ‘focus population’ in the NSW Cancer Plan, have the potential to be embedded and scaled up in the health system, and are sustainable past the funding period.
Objective
- The Accelerated Research Implementation Grants aim to support high achieving research teams who have the ability and capacity to:
- Rapidly implement current research into clinical practice that will improve cancer care or cancer outcomes within three years
- Demonstrate a logical pipeline of research implementation across the three years of funding
- Demonstrate a scalability plan to roll out initiatives to multiple sites within NSW
- Demonstrate a sustainability plan to ensure continued application of the research implementation past the funding period
- Demonstrate an evaluation approach that includes both process measures and outcome measures
- Assemble a team with the relevant skills and a track record of working together for the entire program which will, by definition, be multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional. This will need to include clinical partners that span metropolitan and non-metropolitan health care settings.
Funding Information
- The Cancer Institute NSW will consider all recommendations for funding by the Grants Review Committee and the Chief Executive will approve funding for the grants to be awarded.
Eligible Projects
- The ARIG targets the T2 and T3 stages of translational research. It aims to focus on translating new clinical science and knowledge into routine clinical practice and health decision making, and the disseminating and implementing research for system-wide change.
- Examples of projects may include:
- Translation of new clinically proven knowledge of disease processes, diagnostic or treatment techniques into routine clinical practice and health decision making
- Application of information and insights derived from clinical and population health research to the provision of health services
- Moving evidence-based guidelines into health practice, through delivery and dissemination
- Practice-based research, where the evidence from clinical trials is translated into guidelines for patients seen routinely in practice.
Who can apply?
- Each ARIG application will have one named Chief Investigator, with a minimum of 0.2 FTE towards the activities of the program. The Chief Investigator must be employed at an institution within NSW for the duration of the grant.
Who can’t apply?
- Researchers outside of NSW.
