The Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Foundation received over 73 grant applications this year, reviewed by two expert committees. The Research Scientific Review Committee, chaired by A/Professor David Gattas, and the Education Scientific Review Committee, chaired by A/Professor Chris Nickson, rigorously evaluated applications based on scientific excellence, potential patient benefits, and equity in workforce development to foster future leaders in research and education. 

From this competitive process, the Intensive Care Foundation awarded over $230,000 in grants to 10 outstanding recipients from across Australia and New Zealand. Representing medicine, nursing, and allied health, these recipients’ work spans adult and paediatric ICUs in both metropolitan and regional settings. These grants underscore the diversity and innovation within the intensive care community and support vital efforts to improve outcomes for critically ill patients.
