Nursing Research Foundation

The Royal Perth Hospital Nursing Research Foundation was established in 2001 with the purpose of promoting nursing research and contributing to the body of knowledge for the advancement of patient care.

The Foundation is dedicated to supporting nurses to undertake research into clinical issues.

Nursing research seeks to enhance nursing practice by investigating issues that may impact on patients during their illness and recovery.

Research into nursing practice will ensure that patient care will be delivered in the safest possible way to optimise patient outcomes and support for families.

Grants

Each year the Nursing Research Foundation distributes funds to support research. The allocation of funds is managed by a call for research grant proposals. These proposals are rigorously reviewed by an independent grant allocation sub-committee that recommends research for funding. The Management Committee of the Foundation reviews these recommendations then determines the award of funds. All supported research must be appropriately scrutinised by a recognised Human Research Ethics Committee.
