The CAHS research grants officer can assist you to develop your grants submission. You can also take advantage of other online resources including seminar recordings, in particular Grants applications and finding funding.
Preparing your submission
You will smooth the progress of your application if – before completing your grant paperwork – you:
- speak to your Head of Department to ensure they support your proposal. This is especially important if your proposal will involve use of your paid time or any departmental resources
- meet with the CAHS Research Coordinator if you require letters of support or any other support to meet application, policy, or funder requirements
- draft your application form and budget – complete the CAHS FTE costing calculator (internal link accessible to WA Health employees only – scroll down to ‘Finance tools’ then click on ‘FTE calculator’)
- seek support from the CAHS Business Support Unit as needed
- complete the CAHS Grants Coversheet and attach the funder application form.
