Feasibility Study applications might address appropriate choice of methodologies, the likelihood of obtaining valid results, or acceptability in a population. The topic, aims and scope of the larger study must be identified. Biomedical research studies are not eligible for Feasibility Study contracts. Up to $150,000 is available over 12 months.

Feasibility Studies are appropriate when there is strong evidence to justify a larger study, and where the nature and structure of the study is known, but where critical practical information is needed to make the potential study clearly fundable. For example, a feasibility study might be useful to generate a robust estimate of the potential effect size, the variation between groups, a sustainable recruitment rate, or the real world incidence rate of a condition. The goal is not to determine whether the main study will 'work' but whether it is feasible to undertake the study in the first place. The fund does not support small stand-alone studies, pilot studies or the general development of a research area.
