About this scholarship
The objective of the Postgraduate Scholarship scheme is to support outstanding graduates early in their careers so they can be trained to conduct health and medical research that is internationally competitive.
Categories of research include four broad research streams – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health; Public Health and Health Services Research; Clinical Medicine and Science Research; and Dora Lush Basic Science Research.
Postgraduate Scholarships may be funded by or in conjunction with other organisations. These grants offer opportunities to researchers whose work is particularly relevant to the priorities and research interests of the partner organisations.
