In June 2018, the NSW Government announced a $150 million investment over 10 years into cardiovascular research. NSW’s Cardiovascular Research Capacity Program funds high quality cardiovascular research in NSW in order to drive scientific discoveries, support the development of novel and innovative therapies, and improve health outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular Elite Grants

Elite Postdoctoral Researcher Grants and Research Leader Grants encourage highly talented cardiovascular researchers to move to NSW from interstate or overseas.

Nominations for Elite Grants will only be accepted from eligible host organisations and must be signed by the nominated researcher. Individual researchers are unable to nominate themselves. Please refer to the Guidelines for more information.

Nominations for Elite Grants closes on 1 March and 1 September each year. Because we recognise that opportunities to attract world-leading researchers to relocate do not always align with these closing dates, we may be able to work outside of these timeframes if required. Confidential inquiries about potential nominees are welcome at any time. Please email MOH-OHMRGrants@health.nsw.edu.au in the first instance.
