Now Open - Translational Research Grant Scheme (TRGS) Round 9

There are five priority research areas for Round 9:
- Early translation or implementation trials for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare

There will be an information webinar on 2 June 2025, where more information regarding the application process and priority research areas will be presented. We encourage all potential applicants to attend.
Further information including guidelines, application forms, timeline and how to register for the webinar, are available here or you can reach out to the SESLHD TRGS Coordinator at SESLHD-TRGSCoordinator@health.nsw.gov.au
