The Physiotherapy Research Foundation (PRF) is pleased to announce that up to six Seeding Grants of $12,000 each will be offered in 2023.

Seeding Grants are for early career researchers working on new or established research projects. Applications are considered predominantly on the basis of scientific merit, significance and team track record. Grants will be evaluated by the PRF Grants Review Committee whose decisions shall be considered final, on the recommendation of the APA Board of Directors.

The applicant must:

  • be the Chief Investigator of the project
  • hold current unconditional registration as a physiotherapist with AHPRA
  • be an Australian citizen, or have permanent resident status
  • currently reside in Australia
  • be a financial member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) and maintain APA membership at the time of application and for the duration of the grant.
  • be an early career researcher.

The applicant must not have received: 

  • a PRF Seeding, Project or Tagged grant previously or 
  • any research grant of more than $20,000 as a named lead investigator (eg CIA) including at the time of awarding this grant

Applicants will be required to justify their eligibility as an early career researcher, but typically people > 10 years post PhD (excluding career disruptions) will be ineligible. If you have queries about your eligibility, we encourage you to contact us at least two weeks before the EOI closing date.

Applicants are required to submit an expression of interest (EOI) using the provided form, followed by a full application for those who are shortlisted. It is anticipated that full applications will open in late May and close late June.
