Announcing the APS/CFK Clinical Research Grant #7

The APS is thrilled to announce our partnership with Cops or Kids is continuing with a seventh Clinical Research Grant Program offering a generous grant funding of $40,000 (inclusive of GST).

Cops for Kids (CFK) is a South Australian based charity focused on supporting initiatives that strive to improve the lives of children in that state. Part of the CFK mandate includes the provision of funds for research to assist in the care of sick children and/or enhance the life quality of a child.

The funded project can be related to any aspect of a childhood pain complaint – including theoretical, mechanistic, diagnostic, treatment, epidemiological, and/or sociological approaches.

In brief, the award is to enable clinical research which meets the following criteria:

> Approach a meaningful conclusion in one year

> Conducted in Australia and must be relevant to the South Australian population

> The applicant must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident

> The applicant and their supervisor (if applicable) must be members of the Australian Pain Society and its Pain in Childhood Special Interest Group

> The grant funding of $40,000 (inclusive of GST) will be paid quarterly in arrears upon the submission and acceptance of a combined Progress Report-Acquittal Form

Further information about the APS/CFK Grant, including the Conditions of Award, can be found on the APS website.

Application Deadline: 5pm AEST, Tuesday 26 September 2023
