2011-Australia-China Council Research Grants in Australia and China: Education and science, economics and trade, and culture and society.

Australia-China Council (ACC) grantsare intended to provide seed funds for innovative proposals relevant to the mission and goals of the Council. This includes proposals which demonstrate the potential for the development of long-term links between individuals and institutions in Australia and counterparts throughout China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

In any financial year the Council will look to fund a diverse range of activities that further the Council’s goals and are preferably under the Council’s funding priority areas, both in Australia and China, including projects which have a reach outside the major cities. The Council’s funding priority areas are outlined in the 2008-2011 Strategic Plan and includes support for projects under the broad themes of education and science, economics and trade, and culture and society.
For the forthcoming grant round, applicants will be expected to submit their Expression of Interest and the application form online. Applications should only be sent in other forms after consultation with the ACC Secretariat.

Cardiff Research Scholarship into Advanced Neuroimaging Methods, UK

CRANIUM’s aim is to stimulate the next phase of development of neuroimaging methodology for translational neuroscience applications in human health and disease.The hub of CRANIUM is the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) with its human brain imaging techniques all under one roof:  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), Electroencophalography (EEG) and Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).CRANIUM addresses three themes: Integration of multiple neuroimaging modalities, Experimentally informed mathematical modelling of brain structure and function. Enhanced image quantitation The doctoral research projects will be experimentally focussed with a strong bias towards physical science methodology applied to biological systems.The creative resources of PhD students will be harnassed to understand signals from the mammalian nervous system and to develop neuroimaging methods that will be adopted by animal and human neuroscience researchers across the world. The programme will prepare postgraduates for a research career in biomedical imaging and neuroscience, with the flexibility to take on new techniques as they develop.  Beyond academic research, there is increasing demand for experts who understand the measurement techniques applied to biological systems in the biotech, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
