Funding and support

Funding for Cochrane Reviews
Funding is not provided by the Cochrane Collaboration for individuals to produce systematic reviews. Consequently reviews are produced by volunteer authors or those who have obtained funding through research or project grants. If your institution or organisation would like to support the production of a Cochrane review please contact us at cochrane@vichealth.vic.gov.au

A Directory of Grants and Fellowships in the Global Health Sciences is displayed on  http://www.fic.nih.gov/funding/directory_fellowships.htm (some grants may be relevant to those looking to undertake a Cochrane review). 

Funding of the PHRG
Funding for the coordination and administration of the PHRG is currently provided by VicHealth* with the funding administered by The McCaughey Centre, VicHealth Centre for the Promotion of Mental Health and Community Wellbeing, School of Population Health, University of Melbourne.
