The Ramaciotti Foundations continue to support biomedical research and each year make significant distributions via the Ramaciotti Awards.

The Ramaciotti Foundations have three award categories, each with its own guidelines. These include:

• Ramaciotti Medal for Excellence in Biomedical Research
• Ramaciotti Health Investment Grants
• Ramaciotti Biomedical Research Award (biennial) - Next held in 2027.

Eligibility

To be eligible for funding, your institution must be: NHMRC administering and either;

• registered on the ACNC register, or 
• hold Australian Taxation Office Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR1) endorsement (covered by Item 1 of the table in section 30-12 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997), if you are a Government funded entity (i.e. a public hospital/hospital network).

Institutions that meet the above criteria may submit one application per department, up to a maximum of two applications per administering organisation.

Any additional applications received from the administering organisation above the maximum limit will be deemed ineligible for funding.

It is the applicant’s responsibility to liaise and coordinate with the administering institute’s central research office or equivalent. Only approved applications will be deemed eligible.

Grants awarded must be expended only for the purposes approved by the Trustee. Funds may not be used for the payment of administration fees, charges, or levies to the host institution or its offices.
