Course Access
We are please to announce that Research Grant applications are now open for 2025.
We will once again be offering three grants as follows:
Early Career Research Grant
The aim of the Early Career Research (ECR) Grant is to support Early Career Researchers (ECR) undertake research relevant to infection prevention and control. ECRs are researchers who are within five years of the start of their research career
Seed Grant
The aim of the Seed Grant is to support members who wish to undertake high quality pilot, exploratory, or small-scale infection prevention and control research. This grant aims to address a gap between early concepts and large-scale funding provided by larger bodies such as the National Health Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Australian Research Council (ARC). The grant is also aimed at providing support to researchers who have not yet had success with specific national category 1 competitive funding NHMRC and ARC grants.
Applications for the ECR and Seed Grants close at 9AM on Monday 18 August 2025.

ACIPC recognises the importance of creating sustainable approaches to Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices across healthcare and community settings.
The ACIPC Sustainability in IPC Research grant allows ACIPC members to undertake sustainability research to explore opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of infection prevention practices
Applications for the Sustainability in IPC Research Grant close at 9AM on Monday 15 September 2025.
