South Australian researchers have been awarded $1.5million in grants by the Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation to conduct quality research into the health, education and welfare of children in 2022.

A total of 19 projects were chosen from what will be the Foundation’s 46th annual grant round.

Established in 1976 with funds donated by the public, the Foundation today is at the forefront of funding children’s research in South Australia, with almost $43.5 million dedicated to almost 1000 projects to date.

Through its Annual Grant Giving Program, the Foundation also actively supports the growth of research careers and capability in South Australia within the sectors of community based studies, clinical studies and basic science in the children’s research fields of allied health, fertility and pregnancy, education, environment, nursing, medicine, mental health, midwifery, welfare and protection, and social sciences.

It also remains committed to supporting SA’s world-class research and service organisations, including Flinders University, Novita, University of Adelaide, University of South Australia and the Women’s and Children’s Health Network.

Congratulations to all recipients of a 2022 Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation Research Grant!
