Translating Research Into Practice (TRIP) Fellowships for funding
commencing in 2015
The Translating Research Into Practice (TRIP) Fellowship Scheme is a targeted award intended to build capacity in research translation by providing support
for health care professionals, health care and health systems personnel, health researchers and health policy makers to undertake projects focussed on
translating evidence into practice that will improve health care and public health. The TRIP Fellowship is a part-time award (0.5FTE) which allows individuals
to conduct a research translation project effectively in combination with their career.
This year NHMRC received 20 TRIP Fellowship applications of which 10 have been awarded funding.
The applications listed below were approved for funding by the Minister for Health, the Hon Peter Dutton MP.
