Overview
The aim of the Postgraduate Scholarships scheme is to support outstanding Australian health and medical graduates early in their career so that they can:
o Be trained to conduct research that is internationally competitive;
o Develop a capacity for original independent research.
NHMRC recognises the importance of bioinformatics as an emerging health and medical research field and encourages applications that will use mathematics, statistics and information technology to extract useful information from large and complex biological datasets.
