Research Funding Opportunities
Each year, the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation provides vital funding to health and medical research through its Bloom Research Program. The program promotes big thinking for the health and wellbeing of South Australia’s little people and their mums, funding projects aligning with priority research areas. At the heart of the Bloom Research Program is collaboration and uniting like-minded researchers with common goals to create greater possibilities for research outcomes. The WCH Foundation also provides funds in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and various specific-purpose projects and research funding.
