Research grants
Many of the recent advances in anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative patient care have involved pioneering ANZCA-funded research conducted by our fellows.
Outcomes from pilot projects we've funded regularly lead to large grants from the Australian government’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), and the Health Research Council in New Zealand. This is essential to support large, multi-site randomised clinical trials; required before findings can be implemented to improve clinical practice.
These studies in leading hospitals and universities have been linked to improvements in clinical practice; post-surgical mortality and morbidity complications; disability; and acute and chronic pain in Australia, New Zealand and around the world.
Take a look at what we've achieved; what we fund; and how to apply.
