Translational Research
District Health Board Research Fund: Translational Research in Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes and Obesity
Second round
A Joint Initiative in Translational Research, funded by the 21 District Health Boards (DHB's) and the Health Research Council of New Zealalnd (HRC).
In response to the Inquiry into Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes in New Zealand (2007) a partnership was formed between the HRC and the DHBRF to fund small-scale translational research projects with the objective of reducing the incidence or, impact of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and/or obesity. Partnerships between DHBs and/or PHO's are central to these projects in which findings will be quickly disseminated through the Health Sector. This is the second round of this initiative. For information on those funded in the first round please go to the DHBRF webpage.
The research is being administered by the HRC through a modified application process, in which we hope to provide opportunities for DHBs and Primary Care Providers to undertake and lead translational research. A funding pool of approximately $800,000 is available and we anticipate funding up to ten projects. The Request for Proposal, application forms and explanatory forms are available through the links below and on the DHBRF webpage.
