REMINDER: Children's Hospital Foundation 2018 General Health Services Research Grant
Sponsor: The Children’s Hospital Foundation 		Closing Date: 28-Mar-2018
The Children’s Hospital Foundation has identified the need to improve the way health care is delivered and maximise value for patients by ensuring systems and processes are effective and efficient. Health Services Research grants replace the clinical innovation grants previously offered by the Children’s Hospital Foundation. In the past, clinical innovation grants were awarded for projects that delivered a new healthcare service, program or initiative developed in response to unmet or emerging needs of patients and/or their families. Although similar to an extent, health services research is more focused on investigating the funding, organisation, management and delivery of these new health care services, programs or initiatives to maximise value for patients whilst ensuring systems and processes are effective and efficient.

Aims: Health services research projects must have well-defined patient outcomes metrics that accurately measure improved value for patient, with value defined as health outcomes achieved versus the cost of achieving these.

Please note that health services research proposals that are relevant to childhood nutrition must be submitted through the Woolworths Nutrition-Related health services Research Grant Round (please visit https://childrens.smartygrants.com.au for further details).

Funding Details: In this grant round, the Foundation is offering one-year grants which come with financial assistance of $80,000 as well as up to $20,000 to fund health services research support for the proposal.
