NHMRC Career Development Fellowship in Cerebral Palsy Foundation 2011 in Australia

/ February 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Cerebral Palsy Foundation will support one Career Development Fellowship per year. The Foundation offers a range of grants to support research into the cure and prevention of cerebral palsy. More information can be gained about the Foundation’s research priorities on their website. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to, and track record in the prevention or cure of cerebral palsy research. The Cerebral Palsy Foundation may call upon the successful candidate to provide assistance with publicity, education and other events. It also requires acknowledgment of itssupport for the research in any publications or media publicity, and requires a copy of any published articles arising from the supported research.

These fellowships are offered through funding partnerships agreed between NHMRC and each partner organisation. They offer additional opportunities to researchers whose work is particularly relevant to the concerns and research interests of the partner organisations.

Co-funded fellowships are offered alongside other Career Development Fellowships. They are not alternative awards and have the same financial value as all other Career Development Fellowships.

Applicants who are interested in a co-funded award should indicate this by selecting the appropriate option on their Career Development Fellowship application form. Applicants may nominate more than one partnership organisation, and this is encouraged if the proposed research will be of interest to more than one partner organisation. Funding partners welcome opportunities to collaborate in supporting mutually beneficial research.

After all Career Fellowship applications have been assessed and evaluated by NHMRC Peer Review Panels, those which nominated co-funding partners are forwarded to the nominated partner organisations for their own evaluation and review. Partner organisations advise on those applications they wish to co-fund, with NHMRC deciding which applications proceed to funding based on the NHMRC Peer Review outcome and ranking for all applications.

All applications must be submitted electronically using NHMRC’s Research Grant Management System (RGMS). RGMS also provides an online Profile and CV function.This function is used when applying for all types of grants in RGMS. Relevant information from the Profile and CV will be uploaded automatically for the assessment process.

When completing the online application, applicants should refer to the Career Development Fellowships Advice and Instructions to Applicants.

Application Deadline: 31 March 2011

Commonwealth Professional Fellowships 2011, UK: Agriculture/fisheries/forestry, economic growth, education, engineering/science/technology, environment, governance and public health.

/ February 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

Since their inception in 1959, some 26,000 individuals have benefited from the award of Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships to pursue educational and training opportunities in other Commonwealth countries. Around two thirds of awards have been tenable in the United Kingdom. The vast majority of award holders have returned to make a significant contribution to their home countries, in many cases at the prestigious in the world.
This prospectus describes the Commonwealth Professional Fellow ships offered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom in 2011-2012. Whilst the majority of awards offered by the Commission have been for conventional postgraduate study, its activities also embrace a long-standing programme for university staff from developing countries to spend periods of time in the UK, for the purposes of career updating and skills enhancement. The Commission has sought to extend this principle to other professions, through the creation of the Commonwealth Professional Fellowships programme, under which organisations based in the UK can either apply to host key professionals from developing Commonwealth countries within their own organ is at – ion, or nominate candidates to work with other UK-based organizations with which they have links. Awards under the programme were first offered in 2002-03 and further awards will be offered this year under the terms and conditions set out here.
In 2011-2012, the Commission is working with the Scottish Government to offer Commonwealth Saltire Professional Fellowships. Funded by the Scottish Government, these awards are open to Scottish organisations which are able to identify a Fellow or Fellows who have the ability to influence progress towards minimising the impact of climate change in their home country.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 21 April 2011
