About this program

Osteopathy Australia offers an annual research grants program to support innovation and projects that advance osteopathic knowledge, including Spark grants for bold ideas (open to all academic levels, including PhD students) and Seeding grants to support osteopaths new to research and early‑career researchers. Eligible applicants include osteopaths, academics and early‑career researchers; proposed projects must align with Osteopathy Australia’s research priorities and strategic objectives and demonstrate a clear research question, robust methodology, feasibility and potential impact on clinical practice or broader healthcare. Grants are awarded via a competitive, blinded external review with recommendations from the Research Committee ratified by the Board; funding rounds are advertised for at least 30 days and specific award amounts are not listed in the program summary.
