Forecast opportunity: IHT Cat1 Seed Funding Grant
The Institute for Health Transformation provides funding to support early and mid-career researchers for projects that will inform future Category 1 (Cat 1) grant and/or fellowship applications. It is part of the Institute’s Cat 1 Development Process that aims to provide a high-quality pipeline of projects for Cat 1 submissions in the medium to long term. Funding parcels range from $5,000 – $20,000.
The scheme runs annually and is anticipated to open on Monday 9 October and close on Friday 17 November this year, with projects to commence in 2024. An email will be sent across the Institute and Schools when applications open.
IHT Affiliation in publications
Recent work with the library has shown that not all IHT members include an IHT affiliation in their publications. This means that their amazing work is not always reflected in IHT’s reports. It also means they are not reaping the full benefits of their association with IHT, and that their work is not necessarily contributing to IHT’s targets.
We encourage all members to include IHT in the affiliation section of your publications so we can ensure your work is captured in our reporting and your association with IHT is evident.
The recommended affiliation structure is: Deakin University, Geelong, Australia, Institute for Health Transformation, [domain], [school], [faculty].
More information on recommended affiliations, including affiliations that acknowledge partnerships, is available in the IHT Communications Guidelines.
Share your partnership successes (and your challenges)
We love telling the stories of our partnership successes and challenges to promote great work and to help other IHT members learn from each other’s experiences. Email Amy Brown to discuss how best to tell your story.
Share partner-related intel
Has a partner told you about their changing priorities, personnel, challenges you couldn’t address yourself or opportunities you weren’t able to capitalise on? Flick Amy an email to keep us in the loop!
