National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Scholarships

The NHMRC Postgraduate Scholarships scheme funds successful applicants to attain a research-based postgraduate degree. It supports outstanding medicine and health research students to conduct internationally competitive health and medical research and develop capacity for original independent research within Australia. Recipients must be undertaking a PhD or master's by research degree with a research project based in Australia. The scholarship aims to support outstanding graduates early in their career to be trained in health and medical research. Applicants must be Australian or New Zealand citizens, or permanent residents of Australia. They must not exceed 12 calendar months of full-time equivalent enrolment for a PhD degree, or six calendar months for a master's by research degree, up to 31 December in the year of application. Recipients cannot hold a full-time academic position or other full-time positions in conjunction with the scholarship, and cannot have previously received funding for an NHMRC Postgraduate Scholarship.
