The Australasian College of Paramedicine (the College) is committed to enabling the development of discipline-specific knowledge through support of members undertaking research. The development of knowledge that informs clinical practice, health service delivery or paramedic education is critical to the development of the profession. Well-designed and executed research will provide the basis for evidence-based practice, particularly in areas where knowledge is lacking or incomplete.
We recognise there are additional costs associated with research that may not be covered by universities and research centres. Costs such as these may be eligible for a College research grant.
In the first round for 2025, the College is offering two types of research support grants to College members who are undertaking research:
Open Date: Monday 17 March 2025
Close Date: Thursday 1 May 2025
Full details on grant conditions and applicant eligibility can be found in the Research Grant Guidelines.
The application form can be accessed here.
