2026 BHI Conference Support Grants

The Hospital Research Foundation Group provides an allocation of funding to the Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research (BHI) to support BHI-affiliated staff and Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students with some of the costs of conference participation. 

For conferences held in 2026, applications for support from eligible applicants will be considered for grants of 

• up to $750 in support of eligible participation in-person at a conference held within Australia, or virtually in any conference (regardless of location), and 
• up to $2,500 in support of eligible participation in-person at a conference held outside of Australia. 

Applications for support are to be made after conference participation has been completed and lodged within the appropriate Assessment Cycle for the conference’s end date.  

For Assessment Cycle timelines, eligibility criteria and guidance on how to apply, please see the Scheme Guidelines. 

All queries relating to the application process can be directed to THRF Group’s Research Grants team at [email protected].
