TRAM is open to all researchers from the University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, along with their students and collaborators. If you're passionate about impact, we encourage you to get in touch and consider applying.
To be eligible, one of your team members must be affiliated with the University of Melbourne or a medical research institute that is part of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct.
The TRAM journey spans four programs. We encourage all applicants to apply for TRAMx Bootcamp to get to know us (we love making new friends!) and plan their TRAM experience.
If you're further along your research impact journey, or are interested in research commercialisation, please get in touch to see if you're ready to apply for one of our more advanced programs and jump in a little deeper.
A two-day intensive bootcamp to prepare you for the road ahead and get your head in the game. TRAMx is a great way to get started on your research impact journey.
TRAM Track is undertaken by dynamic research teams over eight weeks to build their entrepreneurial capabilities. You'll speak to customers for market validation, generate a business model, and get your head into a business mind frame.
TRAM Runway builds on work done in TRAM Track, fine-tuning a problem-solution fit. Over 12 weeks, teams are provided with intensive support to get market-ready and progress their commercial planning and business models.
Aiming higher? Go you! TRAM Air is for teams who are working towards specific commercial outcomes. Teams receive tailored support while moving towards important milestones like product launches or capital raising.
We know you’re busy so the TRAM application process has been designed to be quick and efficient. We want to get to know you and your ideas in a few paragraphs, not a manuscript. We'll tell you what you'll need to apply depending on which program you're interested in, and guide you through the process. If you've got any questions, we're just an email away!
