Tips for Applicants

Applicants should focus on research and education proposals that directly benefit orthopaedic care in the ACT region. Given the foundation's focus on funding specific projects like 3D printing research with ANU and supporting publication fees, proposals should demonstrate clear innovation, potential for practical application in patient care, and alignment with advancing orthopaedic outcomes. Early contact with the foundation to discuss project suitability is recommended.
