Healthway's health promotion research program provides grants for research leading to the promotion of good health and the prevention of illness in the community. Healthway encourages innovative research projects and collaborative studies that foster the sharing of skills and expertise.
Research grants are generally awarded to researchers based at Western Australian (WA) universities, and Healthway places a strong emphasis on supporting research with strong links to policy and practice. Applications are assessed on their potential to generate outcomes that will be translated into benefits for the WA community, as well as their alignment to Healthway's health promotion priorities.
While research grant applications can be accepted in any area relevant to health promotion, proposals that address Healthway's highest priority areas of alcohol, tobacco smoking control, good nutrition, physical activity, mental health promotion and Indigenous health are particularly encouraged.
Application details: Please refer to Healthway's website for all information, including application details.
