Our internal fellowships and grants seed new initiatives and partnerships, and allow researchers to push the bounds of their discipline.
Offered to employees of the University of Sydney. The fellowships are designed to offer applicants a continuation of salary for period of up to one year at the end of an ARC or NHMRC Fellowship when they have been unsuccessful in obtaining a continuing externally funded salary. Awards are available up to a maximum period of 12 months and are initially funded for a period of time between the date of expiry of the externally funded fellowship and December 31 in the relevant year.
This scheme will not be offered in 2020.
