Sydney Research offers a number of opportunities across Sydney Local Health District and its partners to support up-and-coming and established researchers, their professional development, and the funding of their research.
The following opportunities are open every year as part of the Sydney Innovation and Research Symposium:
This commercialisation challenge provides seed funding for early stage ideas, devices, technology or systems that could transform the way we deliver healthcare. If you have an idea that could transform healthcare, we want to hear from you!
These prestigious awards celebrate and encourage up-and-coming researchers, research leaders, standout supervisors, and outstanding publications across the Sydney Research partnership.
Each year two Clinical Trials Awards are offered to Sydney Local Health District staff recognising Supervision and Support and the Clinical Trial of the Year.
The Tim Trigg Scholarship for Glioblastoma Research encourages and supports researchers seeking to pursue research and find innovative solutions in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive type of brain cancer that is difficult to treat, with fewer than 5 per cent of patients surviving beyond two years.
The Scholarship will provide up to $35,000 per annum for up to three consecutive years to a full-time University of Sydney postgraduate student to fund their living expenses while undertaking laboratory research within the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Neuropathology department.
The recipient of the Scholarship will perform research and support the Brainstorm collaboration between Sydney Local Health District and University of Sydney. To find out more about Brainstorm, visit the Brainstorm website.

The Sydney Cancer Institute Seed Grant Scheme seeks to support research in the areas of cancer diagnosis, prevention, treatment or care. It is a joint initiative between Sydney Local Health District, Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, and The University of Sydney.
In 2022, there were twelve (12) x $25,000 Seed Grants available, to support projects investigating any aspect of cancer and its various sub-types. These grants aim to expand existing cancer research capacity and collaboration across disciplines to improve care, outcomes, and quality of life for patients with cancer. Grants preferenced early and mid-career researchers whose careers have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the application, applicants to this scheme must provide a one-page statement to explain how their career has been impacted by COVID-19 and how the grant would help them regain momentum.
