Gordon Ada PhD Scholarship in Immunology or Virology

The Gordon Ada PhD Scholarship in Immunology or Virology is a supplementary scholarship established in honour of eminent Australian and JCSMR immunologist and virologist Professor Gordon Ada AO, FAA. The scholarship is to be awarded annually as funds permit to a student enrolled in the JCSMR PhD program in the area of Immunology or Virology. This is a supplementary scholarship designed to support doctoral research in these critical fields of medical science. The scholarship provides additional financial support to students who already hold a primary research stipend scholarship, such as a Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend Scholarship, an ANU University Research Scholarship (URS), an ANU PhD Scholarship or other approved scholarship at The Australian National University. Recipients must be enrolled in a PhD program at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, College of Health & Medicine, pursuing research specifically in Immunology or Virology. The scholarship provides $10,000 per annum paid fortnightly over a period of 3 years, with a 6 month extension available. Selection is based on academic merit, and there is no separate application process as all eligible students are automatically considered.
