AuSPEN Research Grants Application
The Australasian Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (AuSPEN) offers grants to society members for assistance in undertaking projects of significance to AuSPEN. The AuSPEN Research Committee has awarded successful grants since 2006 to conduct projects of significance to the field of clinical nutrition. Clinical significance is determined by the potential of a project idea to further our understanding of clinical nutrition, impact service delivery, or improve nutrition support practices with a primary focus on artificial nutrition support.
AuSPEN offers grants for novice researchers (a clinician who does not have an established research track record or a higher degree in research) to assist them to conduct clinical projects of significance to the field of clinical nutrition. In 2024, one Novice Researcher Project Grant will be offered up to a maximum of $15,000 (ex- GST).
Please see the full application guidelines below, detailing your project, budgetary requirements, investigating team and supervision/ mentoring arrangements for the duration of the project.
We look forward to receiving your research grant applications.
