2025 Research Showcase
On 6 February we officially launched our seven funded medical research projects for 2025. Research teams, loyal donors and community leaders connected to learn more about each project and understand the regional health impact goals of the research program this year. We thank the community for ongoing donations in support of our medical research program at Clifford Craig Foundation: www.donate.cliffordcraig.org.au

Our network of local researchers
Medical research can be likened to undertaking a giant jigsaw puzzle. Each area of research represents the piece of a puzzle that when completed realises increased 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, another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. In this world of instantaneous knowledge exchange, researchers can readily share their findings, successes and failures to enable outcomes that will ultimately improve, or save the lives of many thousands of people.
The Clifford Craig Foundation’s annual medical research grants enable projects to be undertaken 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 much more. Since 1992, the Foundation has funded more than 200 individual research projects.
