Introducing our latest Medical Research Grant recipients
March 2023
Research, health education and medical equipment are three focus areas of the Clifford Craig Foundation, as we work to improve public hospital and health services for residents of North and North-West Tasmania.
This year the Foundation is proud to announce funding for three exciting new projects, with grants totalling $147,941.
They include: an innovative study exploring the use of virtual reality in medical education; an Australian-first sleep study examining links to neurodegenerative disease; and a pilot phase trial testing an inpatient physiotherapy program on patients with COPD.
Clifford Craig Chairman, Dr John Batten AM, said the combination of newly announced grants with the existing research program will see the Foundation allocate $378,000 towards medical research in 2023.
“The Clifford Craig Foundation is the key charity supporting residents of North and North-West Tasmania to access the best hospital and health care,” he said.
“These exciting new projects highlight the passion of our healthcare professionals, working to find better treatments and cures for the health issues that impact our community.
“These medical research grants, alongside the Foundation’s evolving education initiatives and medical equipment appeals, are wonderful examples of how community support is shaping a healthier future for our state.”
