Funding types
The funding types available under the People Support funding group are:
NHMRC Career AwardsThe NHMRC’s Career Awards provide support for experienced Australian researchers to undertake research that is both of major importance in its field and of benefit to Australian health. NHMRC Career Development AwardsThis scheme aims to further develop Australian health and medical researchers early in their career. It will enable investigators to establish themselves as independent, self-directed researchers early in their research career; expand capacity for biomedical, clinical and public health and health service delivery research, and for evidence-based policy development in Australian health systems; and encourage the translation of research outcomes into practice. NICS FellowshipsNICS Fellowships are unique in Australia and offer an opportunity to talented early to mid-career health professionals to be trained and mentored in the science of evidence implementation. NICS Fellowships are building a community of practitioners who have the expertise to support other health professionals in overcoming the barriers to applying research evidence. NHMRC Training (Postdoctoral) FellowshipsThe purpose of NHMRC Training (Postdoctoral) Fellowships is to provide opportunities for Australian researchers to undertake research that is both of major importance in its field and of benefit to Australian health. Training (Postdoctoral) Fellowships provide a vehicle for training in basic research either in Australia or overseas (where appropriate), to enable Fellows to work on research projects with nominated advisers. Awards are offered to a limited number of persons of outstanding ability who wish to make research a significant component of their career. NHMRC ScholarshipsThe aim of the Scholarships scheme is to support outstanding Australian health and medical graduates early in their career so that they can be trained to conduct research that is internationally competitive and develop a capacity for original independent research. This is usually achieved by NHMRC funding its scholars to attain a PhD by full-time research. |
