Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Cerebral Palsy

The Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Cerebral Palsy has been developed to support an outstanding postgraduate research student in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney to undertake research in cerebral palsy. The scholarship will support two students. The first scholarship will support a student to conduct research in early diagnosis and early intervention as part of the DRIVE-CP NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence. The second scholarship will support a student to conduct research associated with an NHMRC Partnerships Grant, TRANSMIT, focusing on translation of evidence based practice in cerebral palsy. Students will be based at the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Institute at The University of Sydney. This scholarship provides a living allowance equivalent to the University of Sydney's Research Training Program Stipend rate for up to 3.5 years for PhD candidates subject to meeting academic progression requirements. The successful applicant will undertake research under the supervision of Professor Iona Novak and must be a domestic student enrolled full-time in a PhD program at the Faculty of Medicine and Health.
