Partnership Projects will support collaborations, within the Australian context, that translate research evidence into health policy and health practice, to improve health services and processes.

Avant Foundation Research Grants are open to universities, institutions and charities. 

In assessing the project budget, we will consider whether the project represents value for money and its feasibility in terms of a likely outcome.

The number, type and value of projects funded will be determined by the quantity and quality of applications received and is entirely at our discretion.

The 2025 Partnerships for culturally safe cancer care grant program supports innovative, community-informed approaches to accelerate the delivery of culturally safe, accessible, and responsive cancer care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The objective of this grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support medical research and medical innovation projects that: 

• Promote Australian involvement in international collaborative investigator-initiated clinical trials research through the establishment and co-ordination of clinical trial site/s in Australia. 

• Provide high-quality evidence of the effectiveness of novel health treatments, drugs or devices in ‘usual care’ settings, which will support a decision on whether to deliver the intervention in an Australian setting.
