Overview

The purpose of the Scheme is to provide support for outstanding health and medical researchers to undertake research that is of major importance in its field and of significant benefit to Australian health and medical research.

Research Fellowships

Research Fellowships are open to all researchers in Australia who have a sustained track record of significant output as demonstrated in peer-reviewed literature, and a strong commitment to quality research outputs as judged relative to opportunity.

Research Fellowships offered by NHMRC are prestigious, highly competitive, sought after awards for high performing mid-career researchers. Recipients of Research Fellowships are generally in the top 10% of their field and are viewed as 'pushing the boundaries' of research.

Applicants should also refer to the Advice and Instructions to applicants document.
