 Apex Foundation for Research into Intellectual Disability This Foundation was established by Apex as part of a service scheme to aid the Mentally Retarded in the mid 1960's. The Foundation was established to provide financial support for research programs which are concerned with the causes, diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disability in any of its forms.The Foundation was established with $100,000 raised by Apex Clubs, since then it has received several bequests. All funds are placed into a portfolio of professionally managed and well diversified investments.The Foundation now manages over $2 million and provides $80,000 of grants for medical research each year. The Foundation also financially supports the actions of SOLVE at the Royal Childrens Hospital.Over the past 37 years the Foundation has provided funding for 151 research projects. The Foundation recently reviewed the results of the research grants, recipients commented on how much these grants had helped their research.Comments such as 'almost universally, the project grants were used to great effect and many papers were published and many conference presentations made as a result of the work done' were received.Many recipients said the grant enabled them to employ research assistants, purchase extra equipment or purchase special requirements. 105 papers have been published as a result of these grants, as well as 27 conference presentations.80% of the funded research grants have lead to further research projects.The Foundation 0419895939 PO Box 4075, Ringwood Victoria 3134 Australia Map Other Categories:  Children Disability Mental Health |
