Frequently asked questions

 

 

How is the Institute funded?
The Institute is a non-government, not-for-profit organisation. The majority of its research programs are funded through the awarding of competitive research grants from federal bodies such as the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Research Council. The State Government of Western Australia provides valuable infrastructure funding. Much needed additional support is provided by our valued corporate partners, through bequests and personal donations. We also fundraise to fill the gap between grant funding and research costs.
