In early February 2025, the Health Research Council will release a Request for Proposals (RFP) looking to fund high quality AI implementation research in healthcare that will directly address priorities identified in the Government Policy Statement on Health 2024-2027. AI technology has significant potential to increase efficiency within the healthcare system and improve quality of care.

The scope of this RFP is inclusive of all research disciplines that are relevant to AI implementation in healthcare, and we encourage transdisciplinary research teams that include members working within the health sector.

A total funding pool of up to $5 million (excluding GST) will be available. The HRC expects to fund a range of project grants of differing values through the RFP. Further information will be provided ahead of the RFP opening.
