Shine-Dalgarno Centre PhD Supplementary Scholarship

The Shine-Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation at the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR), ANU College of Health and Medicine offers up to ten supplementary scholarship awards annually. This scholarship provides financial support to doctoral students conducting research in RNA biology under the supervision of a member of the Shine-Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation. The scholarship is designed as a top-up award for students who have already been awarded an ANU approved HDR base stipend scholarship. It supplements the base stipend to provide additional financial support throughout the doctoral research program. The award is available to both domestic and international students enrolled full-time in a Doctor of Philosophy program. The supplementary scholarship provides $10,000 per annum paid fortnightly, which tops up the AGRTP rate of the base stipend to $46,652 per annum. The award is provided for 3.5 years, supporting students throughout their doctoral research journey. Candidates are automatically considered for this scholarship upon admission to the program. Continuation of the scholarship is based on maintaining satisfactory academic performance throughout the doctoral program. This award recognizes academic merit and aims to support outstanding PhD candidates pursuing innovative research in RNA biology at one of Australia's leading medical research institutions.
