Pacific Institute PhD Grant for Research

The Pacific Institute PhD Grant for Research is offered annually by the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, with funding provided by the Pacific Institute Endowment. The Pacific Institute recognizes the achievements of Jim Davidson, Professor of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Sir Peter Buck, distinguished Maori Historian, and Senator John Knight who established a Pacific Fellowship Fund. The objective of the Award is to advance the higher education of Pacific Islanders and research on Pacific-related topics by providing support for an outstanding domestic or international candidate. This grant provides financial support to PhD students of Pacific Islander heritage who are conducting research within the College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University.
