The aim of the NHMRC 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. Applications for 2009 funding must be submitted to Research Scholarships by 11 July 2008. Please refer to the Submission Guidelines below for details.
