Adelaide New Initiative schemes for Tallaght Hospital

The Adelaide New Initiative Scheme provides seed funding for new developmental initiative in Tallaght Hospital. The scheme is open to all Hospital departments.

Applications are invited for the Adelaide Health Foundation’s New Initiatives Scheme and it is hoped to assist small but key initiatives which staff in the Hospital have approval to pursue.

It is envisaged that applicants will apply for a once off ‘seed’ grant of up to €5000 approx to enable the pursuit of a new developmental initiative in relation to any service in the Hospital. In certain circumstances a bigger grant may be considered. The applicant must have secured approval from the Hospital’s Executive Management Team for their project.

Applications will be assessed by the Voluntary Services Development Committee of the Foundation and will be subject to Board approval. The following criteria will apply in assessing each application:

Service development – how the initiative will improve services for patients directly or indirectly
Evaluation – how the initiative will be evaluated in relation to quality, effectiveness and efficiency
Cost benefit analysis – how the initiative’s present costs will lead to benefits in the future. The application should set out the costs of the project (including VAT if applicable) and state what grant is being sought.

2017 ROUND IS NOW CLOSED

The application should include a full description of the proposed initiative, written confirmation that the Executive Management Team of the Hospital has given approval and it should set out in accordance with the above criteria how it meets the Scheme’s criteria and purpose.

AHF Healthcare Advancement Fund

In line with its strategic objectives, the Adelaide Health Foundation (AHF) is now inviting applications for support from its Healthcare Advancement Fund. It is intended that the health policy initiative of the AHF, which is an integral part of the Foundation, will be closely involved in the formative and summative evaluation of each project.

This scheme provides funding for competitive and innovative research that will create new knowledge and evidence of benefit to health through investment in patient-oriented, population health, health policy and health services research.

Who should apply?

Applicants must demonstrate clearly that their research team contains the necessary breadth and depth of expertise in all the methodological areas required in the development and delivery of the proposed project. The Principal Investigator (PI) will serve as the primary point of contact for the research and will be responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the research and has primary fiduciary responsibility and accountability for carrying out the research within the funding limits awarded and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the AHF.
