Emerging Researcher Fellowships
History
The Chief Executive has established the Southern Health Emerging Researcher Fellowship. The primary purpose of the Fellowship is to invest in early research career individuals, with significant potential for a research career and for whom a fellowship would contribute to that end. The Fellowship is to encourage Southern Health employees to conduct a research project and to target emerging researchers.
Emerging Researcher Fellowships 2012 are now open for applications
It is intended that between 4-6 Fellowships of $10,000 or $15,000 each be awarded for 12 months only. The Emerging Research Fellowships provide a career development opportunity for those who do not have a proven record of research and to provide some salary support for employees in all health related disciplines including allied health, medicine, and nursing.
Applications will be considered from all health-related disciplines: allied health professionals, nurses, medical practitioners and scientists.

Closing Date: Monday 30 January 2012 (successful recipients will be notified in early February 2012).
