Dr Andrew Stevenson Receives WA Near-Miss Award

The FWF congratulates researcher Dr Andrew Stevenson on receiving a WA Near-Miss Award through the Future Health Research and Innovation Fund.

The WA Near-Miss Awards recognise Western Australian researchers whose highly competitive national grant applications narrowly missed Commonwealth funding. The program provides important support to maintain research momentum, strengthen future applications and ensure promising work can continue.

This achievement reflects Andrew’s growing leadership within the burns research community and the quality and relevance of his work. His research contributes to a broader program focused on improving skin healing, reducing scarring and developing better outcomes for people affected by burns and other complex skin injuries.

Supporting researchers at this stage of their careers is essential to building long-term capability and sustaining innovation across the research pipeline. Recognition through programs such as the WA Near-Miss Awards helps ensure strong ideas continue to develop and move closer to meaningful patient impact.

We are proud to see Andrew’s contribution recognised and look forward to sharing further updates as his research progresses.
