SUMMARY:The Viertel Charitable Foundation Clinical Investigator Awards
DESCRIPTION:Establishment grants for Clinical Investigators have been initiated by the Foundation in order to stimulate and encourage clinical research in Australia. In particular the grants are intended to assist new investigators to establish their research programs at the time of the difficult transition from doctoral and post-doctoral training posts to their first definitive clinical positions in an academic environment. Clinical Investigators are awarded a once only grant of $90\,000. \nEligible applicants will be medical graduates or graduates of other clinical disciplines who have completed both their clinical and research training which will normally be at doctoral level and are commencing their first definitive clinical position\, or have been in such a post for no more than 36 months on 1 May of the year of application. \nApplicants should be actively engaged in clinical work and pursuing health and medical research in a university clinical department\, a teaching hospital\, a clinical research unit of a research institute or in an academic general practice setting. The applications will be judged predominantly on the quality of the applicant’s track record and career achievements to date. The quality of a brief research proposal will also be taken into account. \nKey Dates\nApplications open: 6 April 2026\nApplications close: 30 May 2026 \nThe Guidelines will be available here when the round opens. \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINESSEE WEBSITE

SUMMARY:Australian Melanoma Research Foundation Research Grants
DESCRIPTION:The AMRF will continue to support the next generation of melanoma researchers in Australia by providing research grants to post-graduate students and early career researchers. \nThe AMRF will fund research that contributes to the understanding and prevention of melanoma. The number of grants awarded in 2026 will depend on the quality of the applications and the funds requested. The AMRF will be selective in the research it supports. Any proposal to the Foundation for research funding will need to be contestable and show evidence of scientific merit within the national context. \nThe aim of the AMRF’s grants scheme is to support high quality research that is not fully funded through other grant schemes or from other sources.  AMRF funds are to be applied to offset the direct costs of the research. The proposed research may be part of an existing  research program.  However\, the application to the AMRF should be for a stand-alone component of that existing project. \nApplications for funding will be assessed against several of the following criteria: \n\nPublication history in melanoma (by the applicant and/or their supervisor)\nEvidence of scientific merit and clinical need within the national context\nProposed dissemination of research findings\nBroader impact on education and awareness of melanoma\n\nKey Dates\nEOIs close: 30 April 2026\nFull applications deadline: 25 May 2026\nSuccessful applicants announced: 15 June 2026\nFunds available: by 30 June 2026 \nSEE GRANT GUIDELINESSEE WEBSITE
