Voucher
Scheme
Phenomics Australia offers a voucher scheme to facilitate and encourage access to one or more Phenomics Australia facilities. This scheme is intended to further reduce the cost of access to a specific capability.

Pipeline Accelerator - Voucher Scheme
Access the Pipeline
Through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program, Phenomics Australia and Therapeutic Innovation Australia (TIA) seamlessly support a network of national research infrastructure to address the medical products challenge in the 2021 National Research Infrastructure (NRI) Roadmap. We collectively offer academic researchers and SMEs access to a diverse range of Australian translational medical research capabilities, from the molecular basis of health and disease through to clinical trials.
To encourage access to these capabilities, TIA has developed the Pipeline Accelerator, a voucher-style scheme that supports the cost of access to a broad range of advanced capabilities. In this Pipeline Accelerator round, Phenomics Australia is partnering with TIA to expand the portfolio of services and expertise enabling medical research discovery and translation.
This scheme aims to support therapeutic development projects by providing up to $50,000 with at least 50% matching co-investment to be provided by the applicant.
Refer to the guidelines for information on eligibility, funding levels, co-investment expectations, as well as the application and funding process. All applicants are required to complete and submit the applications online. The link to the application form can be found in the guideline document. We strongly advise you to develop your application on the provided template as the online form cannot be saved and retrieved at a later date.
Applications close on 13th October 2023, 5pm (AEST).
