Funding and Awards
Medical and Health Research Infrastructure Fund (MHRIF)
Since 1997, twelve rounds of the MHRIF have been conducted with the State Government allocating approximately $44.6 million in infrastructure support to medical and health researchers in Western Australia. Grant funding was provided to successful applicants for infrastructure costs associated with medical and health research.
