Expressions of interest from Children’s Health Queensland clinicians and researchers are sought for funding towards hosting visits of nationally and internationally renowned clinician-research leaders to CHQ. This initiative, proudly funded by the Children’s Hospital Foundation, will have a direct impact on research capacity and culture building, through sharing of research expertise and experience, and by facilitating new nationally and international collaborations. The program will also help the global translation of CHQ-led research.
CHQ staff members are invited to submit an expression of interest that includes:
- Details regarding the visiting researcher
- A proposed itinerary
- An impact statement
2024 rounds will run monthly, closing at the end of each month from January to May.
Last round for this program closes 31 May 2024.
This is the last year for this current program ending 30 June 2024. All travel and expenditure is to be completed by 30 June 2024 for any approved visiting researcher.
The total budget for this initiative is $75,000 over 5 years. Whilst there is no fixed number of visits to be supported each year, we anticipate funding 2 to 4 visiting researchers per year.
Please contact the grants office CHQ_Grants@health.qld.gov.au for any out of session application.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Employed by Children’s Health Queensland at 0.5 FTE or more
- Lead a program of research, or be actively engaged in clinical or health services/systems research (e.g., site investigator for clinical trials/projects)
Reporting and Acknowledgement Requirements
Successful applicants will be required to submit a brief report summarising the visitor's itinerary and outcomes within 30 days after the visit, including details of new collaborative initiatives / opportunities that have been facilitated by the visit. All presentations given by the Visiting Researcher during the visit must include an acknowledgement of the Children’s Hospital Foundation’s support for the visit.
Application Assessment
Applications will be assessed by the CHQ Research Advisory Committee. Applications will be assessed according to the likelihood of the visit resulting in new and significant research collaboration between CHQ clinician-researchers and the visitor, their institution and/or the collaborative research/clinical network they lead.
Applications for visits that will facilitate unique and meaningful opportunities for early and mid-career researchers to collaborate with international experts will be assessed favourably, as will applications that enhance engagement with CHQ’s academic partners.
Applications from clinicians without an active research role, seeking funding to support a visit where the main activity will be clinical presentation and case discussions, and where subsequent research collaboration is unlikely, will not be funded.
