Through the generosity and vision of Mary Raine, the Raine Medical Research Foundation has been able to support cutting-edge research that has investigated some of the most challenging diseases and disorders facing the world today – including cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, renal failure and cardiovascular disease. The Foundation has allocated close to $50mill towards medical research to-date in support of two Centres of Excellence, major research grants, fellowships, scholarships, collaboration awards, publication prizes, and the visits of international scholars. Our funding programs have been further enhanced through many productive partnerships and joint ventures, and generous bequests and donations from the community.

The Raine Foundation has a strong reputation for ensuring thorough and equitable grant review processes and prides itself on supporting medical research excellence. Importantly, our funding strategy recognises the need to support the next generation of WA medical research leaders. The achievements of our previous awardees are a testament to the rigour of our grant review processes and reinforce the critical need for early-career support.
