Print versionAbout the Scheme
The aims of the NHMRC Career Development Fellowship scheme are:
- Develop Australian health and medical early to mid-career researchers so they establish themselves as independent, self-directed researchers;
- Help build Australia’s capacity for research in all fields of health and medical research, with a particular emphasis on clinical, public health, health service research, and bioinformatics fields;
- Increase knowledge and support the development of evidence based health policies;
- Encourage the translation of research outcomes into practice;
- Encourage the growth of knowledge-based industries in Australia by helping to bridge the gap between research and industry and fostering an environment that values industry achievement; and
- Provide a means for Australian researchers working overseas to return to Australia to continue their career development.
