Tips for Applicants

Applicants must be staff members of Prince of Wales Hospital and the project must directly benefit POWH patients and/or staff. Applications require Department Head approval and, if relevant, POWH Executive and Ethics Committee approval. Projects should address a need not covered by existing departmental budgets. Priority is given to projects with the greatest 'exponential' benefit, 'seed funding' potential, 'translational' research, or those that reduce costs/increase efficiencies. First-time applicants are also considered. Note that funding is not provided for postgraduate education programs or retrospective projects. Applications over $5,000 require detailed project design, methodology, and an itemized budget, along with a commitment to 6 and 12-month progress reports.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation approaches giving by empowering clinicians, researchers, and health professionals at POWH to develop real-world solutions. It prioritizes projects with significant 'exponential' benefit, 'seed funding' potential, 'translational' research outcomes, and those leading to cost reduction or increased efficiencies, driven by clinical curiosity and community generosity.
