2024 Seeding Grants and Beryl Haynes Memorial Grant applications now open

Applications for the Physiotherapy Research Foundation (PRF) Seeding Grants and Beryl Haynes Memorial Grant are now open. Both grants are aimed at helping new and early career researchers within any area of physiotherapy. However, the Beryl Haynes Memorial Grant is designed to support physiotherapists working or studying in Tasmania in memory of Beryl, a pioneering leader in the Tasmanian Health system over decades.

There are up to seven Seeding Grants of $12,000 each and one Beryl Haynes Memorial Grant to the value of $15,000 available in this round.

Applications are considered predominantly on the basis of scientific merit, significance and team track record.

The Applicant

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
  • be currently working or studying in Tasmania (applicable only for the Beryl Haynes Memorial Grant). Members of the research team may be located outside of Tasmania.

The applicant must not have received:

  • a PRF Seeding, Project or Tagged Grant previously as a Chief Investigator or
  • a Beryl Haynes Memorial grant previously
  • any research grant of more than $20,000 as a named lead investigator for example 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 over ten 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 form provided below, 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.
