The Clinical Catalyst Scheme is a funding scheme designed to provide research-qualified health professionals, not currently undertaking any substantial research activity, the opportunity to form a collaborative high-quality research partnership with established biomedical and applied health researchers, and with protected time and funding to enhance their research skills and experience.

Each award will part-fund an applicant’s basic salary to support protected research time, and costs to undertake the project. Projects can range from basic discovery science to translational and applied health research.
