Overview
The Ian Potter Foundation (IPF) Health – Medical Research Program aims to support the provision of equipment and capital infrastructure to support outstanding medical research groups. Grants of over $100,000 are provided through this program. Projects must not be suitable for funding through a Government agency (e.g. ARC or NHMRC).
As the IPF is unlikely to fund the project in entirety, evidence of collaboration within and outside of UQ is strongly encouraged.
Enquiries on research infrastructure acquisitions or coordination should be directed to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research Infrastructure), Professor Paul Bonnington, at pvcri@research.uq.edu.au.
How to apply
Expressions of Interest
As UQ can submit a maximum of two applications, a mandatory internal Expression of Interest (EOI) will be run to select the applications most closely aligned with the core scheme requirements.
The EOI form is provided in the Key documents below. Please submit your EOI to IndustryGrants@research.uq.edu.au by the internal EOI close of 5 December 2022.
Full applications
Following the EOI process, the two endorsed UQ applicants will prepare full proposals:
Step 1: Project preparation
- Create an account in the Ian Potter Foundation online portal.
- Familiarise yourself with the key IPF scheme documentation.
Step 2: Completing the application
Complete the application via the Ian Potter Foundation online portal.
Step 3: UQ R&I internal review and feedback
- To initiate review, email your completed UQ Funding Application Coversheet (FAC), proposal, and draft attachments to UQ R&I at InfrastructureGrants@research.uq.edu.au.
