Research
Research project funding is a core component of the VNI's strategy to improve the health and quality of life of those individuals living with brain and spinal cord injuries.
The VNI funds research projects in Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury in basic, clinical and rehabilitation disciplines. In addition to these areas the VNI has funded targeted research activities designed to fill the gaps in neurotrauma research in Victoria.
To meet the strategic goal of ensuring that only the highest quality, internationally competitive neurotrauma research is funded, each application has been through a rigorous peer and scientific review process. This review process is tailored for each funding round and is directed by the VNI Governance Committees. By selecting and funding only high quality research the VNI aims to create a centre of neurotrauma research excellence within Victoria.
Since the VNI's inception in 2005 through to the end of funding round 3 a total of 37 projects have been approved for funding. Details of all projects including project summaries are available below:
- Spinal Cord Injury Projects
- Traumatic Brain Injury Projects
- Targeted Initiatives
