About the Health Promotion Demonstration Research Grants Scheme

The Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Advancement established a Health Promotion Demonstration Research Grants Scheme (DRGS) in 2000. The DRGS funds Area Health Services to conduct rigorously designed health promotion intervention research. It is a priority-driven research scheme that primarily funds practice-based effectiveness research. This type of research is rarely funded through other existing public health research schemes.

The aims of the Scheme are to:

• Build an evidence-base to support policy development and health promotion practice in NSW; and
• Contribute to the knowledge base for health promotion.

To date the Scheme has funded twelve research projects since 2000 and another three projects will commence in 2006/2007. See funded DRGS grants.
