Welcome to The Hospital Research Foundation Group's online grant application service, powered by SmartyGrants.
Please read the important information below to assist you in completing your application online.
Before you start a submission, please read the scheme guidelines carefully and download the required templates available from the round website.
We recommend you use Google Chrome when working on SmartyGrants and that you save your application every 15 minutes.
You may begin anywhere in this application form. Please ensure you save as you go.
If the information below doesn't address your questions, you can consult SmartyGrants' Help Guide for Applicants and their Frequently Asked Questions.
You can also contact us for queries about the guidelines, deadlines, or questions in the form on 8244 1100 during business hours or email savelives@hospitalresearch.com.au. Please remember to quote your application number.
On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.
You will notice that each question has a number and that the numbers might not always be sequential. Please disregard this as the numbers are for THRF internal purposes only.
If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.
You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
The Hospital Research Foundation Group exists to save lives. We support people in the community by funding vital medical research and patient care activities in hospitals. Our group includes a number of charitable affiliates, providing donors with an opportunity to support a specific area of research or patient care.
