Our network of local researchers
Medical research can be likened to a giant jigsaw puzzle. Each area of research represents a piece that, when combined, creates greater knowledge and the potential for future cure or prevention. It is an intricate process that sometimes delivers exciting outcomes or, at the very least, provides valuable insight.
As each researcher builds upon the work of others, the “full picture” becomes clearer and another piece of the puzzle falls into place. In today’s world of instantaneous knowledge exchange, researchers can readily share their findings, successes and failures to enable outcomes that ultimately improve or save the lives of thousands.
The Clifford Craig Foundation’s annual medical research grants enable projects across a broad range of health areas including motor neurone disease, prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis, cardiology, vaccines, orthopaedic surgery, gastrointestinal disease, paediatrics, fall prevention and more. Since 1992, the Foundation has funded over 200 individual research projects.
