| Grants-in-Aid are
available to fund biomedical, clinical or public
health research that is relevant to cardiovascular
disease. The Chief Investigator A must be Australian
or New Zealand citizens or permanent residents and
must be based in Australia for the duration of
funding.
Eligible applicants will be full-time
researchers. PhD students cannot apply as a sole
investigator and must include an established senior
researcher as a Chief Investigator in the
application.
In any one year, an applicant may apply as
Chief Investigator A on up to three GIA
applications.
However, CIAs may only be awarded one new GIA per
year, and are limited to holding a
maximum of 2 Grants-in-Aid.
If also applying for funding from NHMRC Project
Grants, all NHMRC eligibility criteria for NHMRC
Project Grants must be met.
When applying for both a NHMRC Project Grant and
a Heart Foundation GIA, it is permissible to have a
different CIA on each grant, provided that NHMRC and
Heart Foundation eligibility criteria are met for
each CIA on each application.
