NSLHD & NORTH Foundation Grants program
This initiative allows NSLHD staff to access untied funding received by the NORTH Foundation. This financial year, $512,277 of funding was allocated to 17 innovative projects across three funding rounds. Round one ‘patient services’ focused on projects which contributed to the improvement, acquisition or testing of services and equipment that enhances a patient’s experience whilst under the care of the NSLHD. Round two ‘education, community wellbeing and outreach’ focused on projects which aim to improve wellbeing and health across the NSLHD through community-based education programs and improving access to resources for staff, patients and families. Round three ‘research’ aimed to assist the continuation and development of research that will result in improvements across the NSLHD. Projects usually include funding for clinical and laboratory needs, research enablers such as data and analysts, and early career researchers and fellowships. A focus for the NORTH Foundation team has been to raise awareness of the grants program to ensure a diverse range of applications are received. Throughout this process, the team focuses on establishing and developing positive relationships with staff from across the NSLHD. As the program continues to grow, we will be continuing to seek more innovative, collaborative projects which align with the NSLHD Strategic Plan.
