Pa Research Foundation

The PA Research Foundation funds world class, ground breaking research - to develop better diagnoses, treatments and preventions for some of Australia's biggest health challenges and also funds initiatives that improve patient outcomes and experiences. The Foundation was established in 1984 at the Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH) in Brisbane - Queensland's leading research hospital and our largest clinical trials centre. The PAH is the birthplace to "Gardisil", the first ever vaccine for cervical cancer and the "Brisbane Technique", the first ever split liver transplant from a live donor. All research funded by the PA Research Foundation goes through a rigorous selection process - to ensure it is of genuine scientific merit, and does not replicate any other research anywhere in the world. All funds therefore contribute to the highest caliber research. Supporting health and medical research is an ongoing process and a costly undertaking. The PA Research Foundation is fortunate to receive donations from the general public, the business community, bequests and the thousands of patients and their families who have benefited from the medical treatment provided by the PA Hospital.
