The IBAS Research Grant is offered to internal researchers annually. The grant aims to support research that aligns with the aims of IBAS. Funds are available for pilot projects, smaller stand alone projects, top-up funding for larger projects or for specific items of equipment. The grant has been offered annually since 2003, with amounts awarded ranging between $10,000 - $40,000.
Six projects have applied for funds. All applications undergo external peer review before decisions are made.
The projects that were funded by last year's IBAS Research Grant ($30,000 to Assessment of Ocular Measures of Alertness and Driving Impairment in Medical Residents and $10,000 to The 2007 AASM Recommendations for EOG Electrode Placement on Polysomnography: Impact on Rapid Eye Movement Scoring) are both progressing well.
