Peter Gage Memorial Supplementary Scholarship in Membrane Physiology

The Peter Gage Supplementary Scholarship in Membrane Physiology is named in honour of Professor Peter William Gage, in recognition of his having been one of Australia's leaders in membrane physiology, biophysics and neuroscience. Peter influenced and encouraged a great many research students, postdoctoral fellows and senior colleagues in their scientific careers. The objective of the Award is to encourage outstanding domestic or international candidates to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in the field of medical sciences, based in the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) at the Australian National University. This is a supplementary scholarship that tops up the AGRTP rate of the base stipend to $46,652 per annum (2024 rate), paid fortnightly. The scholarship is available to prospective or continuing domestic or international students who are enrolled full-time in a PhD program at JCSMR and have completed qualifications comparable to an Australian Bachelor first class Honours degree. Recipients must also hold an approved ANU HDR base stipend scholarship at the minimum AGRTP base rate.
