Awards for translational research
The Translation Research Institute (TRI) is offering a $25,000 national prize to recognise Australian research that has successfully translated biomedical research into clinical practice. Four TRI awards, which recognise translational research and encourage collaboration, are also to be offered to researchers who work at the institute.
Based in Brisbane, the TRI developed the national prize to support researchers working on a technology or treatment to improve human health. Researchers who have spent over 50% of their time working in Australia over the last 5 years are eligible to enter.
The winner will receive $25,000 and the opportunity to present to high-profile researchers and clinicians on their research at an awards symposium to be held at TRI on Friday, 21 November 2014.
The four TRI awards - translational research, innovation, breakthrough and collaborative team - aim to increase participation and collaboration in translational research at TRI.
Nominations for the prize and awards close at 5 pm, Friday, 10 October 2014.
