ASA Research Grant (Annual Grants and Prizes - pre-NSC Awards)

About this program

The Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA), through its SPARC committee, awards an annual research grant of up to A$12,000 to support original research in ASA priority areas—Environment & Anaesthesia, Innovation & Anaesthesia, and Safety in Anaesthesia. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are assessed by a three-member ASA panel, with outcomes advised within three months; recipients are expected to present at ASA-supported forums and publish their findings. Applicants must be financial ASA members for at least 12 months (trainees and members within five years of full membership are strongly encouraged), obtain departmental support, and ensure appropriate ethics approval or waiver and ANZCTR registration as required; funds will not be released until required approvals are in place.
