Our 2027 CRF Annual Research Grants round is now open for Expressions of Interest (EOIs).
The Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation is dedicated to enriching the lives of children through research.
Founded with proceeds generously donated by South Australians to the SAS Channel 7 Adelaide annual Christmas Appeal telethon, the Foundation today provides $2 million in grants each year. Our grants are dedicated to generating new knowledge vital to improving the quality of life for all children.
Thanks to the generosity of our South Australian community, we’ve funded over 1,000 research projects to date, and counting.
