Collaborative Research Grants

Metro North is committed to funding research that triggers collaboration with our academic partners. These strategic links, and the data generated from the projects, are acknowledged as an important component of nationally competitive grant funding bids.

Metro North is proud to continue our partnerships with The University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and Griffith University to provide the Collaborative Research Grants (CRG) program.

The Collaborative Research Grants will enable new collaborative research between clinicians, academics and scientists with the potential to lead to ongoing research of direct benefit to Metro North Health patients and the community.
