Overview
The National Research Flagships Program is targeted at national goals which are closely aligned to the Government's National Research Priorities. Their scale, longer time-frames and clear focus on delivery and adoption of research outputs are designed to maximise their impact in key areas of economic and community need. Collaboration is a key principle of the Flagship initiative and lasting solutions require partnerships that harness our national innovative spirit on an ambitious scale. The Flagship Collaboration Fund facilitates the involvement of the wider Australian research community in addressing the critical national challenges targeted by the Flagships.
Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships
The Flagships offer top-up and full Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships to high quality students who are enrolled in a PhD at an Australian university, and who will be working on a project which is directly relevant to a Flagship program.
A listing of the priority research areas in which the Sustainable Agriculture Flagship is seeking applications for 2011 is available by following the link below, along with contact details for the Flagship.
http://www.csiro.au/partnerships/SAF-Postgrad-Scholarships.html
Top-up scholarships will be the norm. Valued at A$7000 per annum, they are available to PhD students who have gained (or expect to gain) an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) or equivalent scholarship.
In some circumstances full scholarships will be available. These offer a stipend of the equivalent of the APA plus CSIRO's top-up amount of A$7000 per annum for up to three years.
The three criteria on which the applications will be assessed are:
1) Student Project
The primary assessment criterion for a Flagship Postgraduate Scholarship is the quality and relevance of the project being proposed. The research must be complementary to, and clearly aligned with, the research portfolio and goals of a Flagship and not simply to the broad scientific fields covered by the Flagship. Flagships have nominated priority research areas for scholarships commencing in early 2011. When applying for a scholarship, students should indicate which of these areas their proposed research is relevant to. (If a student’s research is not directly relevant to any of these areas, their application must clearly state how it is aligned with the work of the Flagship.)
2) Quality of the Student
The quality of the student is critical to the assessment of a Scholarship and candidates must hold (or expect to gain) a degree from a recognised University, normally first class honours or equivalent. Please provide an academic transcript or evidence of results with your application. Please attach your transcript with your CV.
3) Prospects
The potential of the proposed student project to support the directions of the Flagships and to deliver outcomes that are relevant to a particular Flagship Program is essential. Also important are the broader prospects of the nature and value of the benefits of the outcomes of the project, and in particular whether they have helped the Flagships achieve their major national goals.
