More than $10 million has been awarded to some of Western Australia's leading health and medical researchers through the Research Excellence Awards (REA) 2022 program. 

The REA program recognises and supports high-performing early-and mid-career researchers and established researchers in WA.

51 recipients have been awarded grants between $110,000 and $340,000 to spend over a two-year period. Recipients will submit a proposal outlining how the funds will be spent to support their research.
