The Dementia Australia Research Foundation is pleased to announce the following grant round supporting talented new and early career researchers.

Funding & duration

Up to 4 Post-doctoral Fellowships for new and early-career researchers. The 3-year award includes salary (up to $110,000 pa) and research expenses ($75,000).

Eligibility

• At the time of acceptance and for the duration of a grant, the Applicant (Chief
  Investigator (CI)) must be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or a permanent resident
  of Australia. All applicants must provide evidence to their host institution to support this
  criterion. Host institutions are responsible for certifying and ensuring that these
  requirements are met. The Dementia Australia Research Foundation may request further
  information in relation to these requirements, including evidence of residency and/or
  citizenship. Applicants who hold a temporary work visa are not eligible to apply.
• The CI must not have more than four years post-PhD experience at the time of applying,
  adjusted for career interruptions / relative to opportunity i.e. the CI was awarded a PhD
  or equivalent (DPhil or M.D. by research) on or after 6 July 2017 or has submitted a PhD
  thesis for examination (the thesis must be passed prior to the proposed commencement
  date of the project).
• The CI must identify an experienced dementia researcher as a supervisor, who is based
  at the same or a related institution (e.g. an affiliated hospital or research institute) as the
  CI. Under usual circumstances, the mentor would not have been the applicant’s PhD
  supervisor.
• The research must be conducted primarily in Australia and address the topic and scope
  of the funding round. However, the RAD Post-doctoral Fellowship may include a 6-month
  secondment that may be taken within or outside Australia.
• The research must be approved by an authorised ethics committee, if applicable. Please
  note that grant payments may be withheld until ethics approval has been obtained.
