Duguid Travelling Award

The Duguid Travelling Award is offered annually by the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health (NCEPH) within the ANU College of Health and Medicine. The Award supports a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidate based at NCEPH to undertake national or international travel in pursuit of their academic goals, such as attending conferences, training, workshops, or collaborative meetings. Alternatively, it can support an external postgraduate student to visit NCEPH for an approved visit or program of study. Funding for this Award comes from an endowment made in 2002 to The Australian National University's Endowment for Excellence by Dr Andrew Duguid and Mrs Rosemary Douglas. The Award recognises the contribution made by their late parents, Charles and Phyllis Duguid, who dedicated much of their lives to working for the advancement of Australia's Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander population. The Award offers a stipend of up to $1,500 to be used within 12 months of receipt. The Award is available to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in an HDR program at NCEPH, external postgraduate Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students, or non-Indigenous students enrolled in an HDR program at NCEPH working in the area of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Preference may be given to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants. The recipient will be reimbursed up to $1,500 for associated costs in a single instalment following selection.
