Apply for access vouchers

Supported by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program, Therapeutic Innovation Australia (TIA), Phenomics Australia, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO)’s National Deuteration Facility, Bioplatforms Australia and Microscopy Australia support a network of national research infrastructure to address the medical products challenge in the 2021 National Research Infrastructure (NRI) Roadmap. We collectively offer academic researchers and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) access to a diverse range of Australian translational medical research capabilities, from the molecular basis of health and disease through to clinical trials.

To encourage access to these capabilities, TIA has developed the Pipeline Accelerator, a competitive voucher-style scheme that can subsidise the cost of access to a full range of advanced capabilities. In this Pipeline Accelerator round, TIA is partnering with Phenomics Australia, ANSTO’s National Deuteration Facility (NDF), Bioplatforms Australia and Microsopy Australia to expand the infrastructure and expertise available for the discovery and translation of medical research. 

The Pipeline Accelerator voucher aims to partially subsidise the cost of access to TIA, NDF and Phenomics Australia supported facilities, with optional additional access to Bioplatforms Australia and Microscopy Australia via supplementary vouchers. To access a supplementary voucher from Bioplatforms Australia or Microscopy Australia, you must also apply for a TIA, Phenomics Australia and/or NDF voucher on the same application.

Please refer to the guidelines for information on eligibility, funding levels, co-investment expectations, as well as the application and funding process. If you intend to apply for funding, please read these guidelines carefully.

All applicants are required to complete and submit the applications online using our online application form. Please note that the link to the application form can be found in the guidelines document. We strongly advise you to develop the application on the provided template as the form cannot be saved and retrieved at a later date.

TIA values diversity in research teams and applicants. Early career researchers and/or female researchers are strongly encouraged to apply as the main applicants.
