A number of Cancer Institute NSW are now open for applications. TCRN members are reminded that Research Equipment Grant applicants need a letter of support from the TCRN Director. Please contact s.macmillan@unsw.edu.au for further details.

TCRN researchers are encouraged to update their profiles in the Cancer Institute NSW Grants Management System. The system has recently been updated using the ‘autofill’ option from the profiles to bring details into the application forms to minimise the need to re­type the same information for Chief Investigators and Co-Investigators on separate applications.

Open to all employees of NSW Health facilities and/or agencies and employees of NSW-based academic institutions, the Ian O’Rourke Scholarship in Patient Safety provides up to a maximum of $10,000.

The Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) is part of the largest grant on genomics ever awarded by the NHMRC. The Australian Genomics Healthcare Alliance (AGHA) project aims to prepare Australia for the genomics revolution in health care, and will run for five years (2016-2021).

In this project, the PhD student will undertake a theory based process evaluation to explore the key mechanisms behind successful implementation of genomic sequencing. New knowledge gained from this PhD will inform the design of a generic framework for implementation of genomic sequencing which the wider body of work aims to achieve. Furthermore, evidence generated will help advance understanding of how to effectively implement new evidence into practice.
