ARIIA Grant Funded Projects

Webinar series showcasing ARIIA Grant project outcomes

The ARIIA webinar series Showcasing ARIIA Grant Project Outcomes aims to highlight the transformative outcomes, key findings, and next steps of the innovative projects funded by the ARIIA Grant program.

These projects received an ARIIA Grant, to support their development and translation to address important gaps in the aged care workforce’s capability and knowledge.

Over the course of 2022-2024, 62 ARIIA Grants were awarded across six rounds. Each translational research project was funded to a maximum of $160,000 (ex GST) with a recipient co-contribution. Projects ran for a 12-month period.
