Sir Robert Menzies Memorial Research Scholarship

The Sir Robert Menzies Memorial Foundation wishes to stimulate research in the allied health sciences and is offering one or two research scholarships in this field.

The award will be tenable at an Australian tertiary institution with adequate facilities for postgraduate research in the applicant's discipline. The scholarship will be open to persons who will be working as full-time students in a research PhD program which is likely to be completed during the two year tenure of the scholarship.

The applicant will generally have completed the first stage of the PhD project. The successful applicant will be expected to take up the scholarship during the calendar year 2012.

The purpose of the scholarship is to try to improve the health of Australians by supporting an outstanding applicant from one of the non‐medical allied health disciplines whose research is likely to fall outside the conventional areas of medical research.
