ARC Linkage Projects
ARC Linkage Partnership Grants - Visit our Funding pages for open grants and tenders.
These grants are for organisations applying for an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project grant, who wish to have VicHealth represented as an industry partner in their application to the ARC.
VicHealth is interested in being an industry partner for projects that will support health promotion and public health research and development.
As an industry partner, VicHealth aims to:
- Encourage and develop strategic research partnerships between higher education institutions and practitioners and policy makers to advance knowledge in health promotion and public health.
- Support small cross disciplinary teams working on practical problems that have the potential to generate large health gains for Victorian population groups.
- Generating applied research outcomes that can be used to make a difference to the health of Victorians.
- Generate research and knowledge that is immediately useful for health promotion practice.
- Increase the communication and translation of research in innovative ways.
- Develop partnerships between policy makers, influencers, and practitioners.
To be considered for funding, ARC Linkage projects must address at least one of VicHealth's Key Results Areas (KRAs) one to three.
Projects must also be aligned with VicHealth’s health promotion approach which focuses on the primary prevention of non-communicable diseases.
