IHT Partner and Consumer Involvement Grants – revamped for 2025!
IHT has updated our previous partnership funding scheme to include a greater focus on community, consumers and people with lived experience, as well as industry partners!
IHT members can apply for up to $5000 to:
- Engage stakeholders to establish a collaboration or deepen existing relationships
- Seek input from stakeholders, including industry partners, community and people with lived experience, on potential research projects relevant to the challenges they face
- Explore partnership project ideas with industry partners, community and/or people with lived experience
- Work with partners to develop a big bid (i.e. NHMRC partnership or ARC Linkage grant)
- Plan the expansion of existing partnership related activity
- Explore long term implementation and scale opportunities for existing research programs with industry partners, community and people with lived experience
Work funded by this scheme is expected to help prepare IHT members for funding opportunities such as NHMRC partnership or ARC linkage grants, attract other research funding, scale and sustain members’ research impact, and/or build relationships that will lead to such benefits in future. Clear line of sight to future funding opportunities is expected to be demonstrated by applicants.
The grant guidelines and application form are available on the funding page on the IHT members portal.
