Our Theme Collaborative Seed Grant Schemes provide Early and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) at UNSW opportunities to lead innovative projects. Funded by UNSW Medicine & Health, our grants foster cross-disciplinary collaborations to produce high-quality research and clinical outcomes. Successful projects enhance competitiveness for external grant funding and serve as a pathway to more ambitious projects.
