In May 2010, the Department of Health gained access to the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund (MRCF) and is now able to offer WA Health researchers the opportunity to apply for MRCF funding for early stage development and commercialisation of intellectual property.
The MRCF is a pre-seed investment fund which aims to address the existing funding gap between the development and commercialisation of biomedical research. In addition to development funds the fund managers are able to provide professional commercialisation advice, including patent and project management support.
Further information is available at the MRCF Website (external site) and from the Research Development Unit.
