NHMRC grants for Australia’s future health care leaders

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is inviting early-to-mid career health professionals with a keen commitment to improving health care in Australia to apply for a 2008 NHMRC National Institute of Clinical Studies Fellowship (NICS).

NICS is an institute within the NHMRC and works to improve healthcare by getting health and medical research into practice.

The NHMRC’s NICS Fellowship Program, established in 2003, identifies and supports health professionals who are future leaders in evidence-based health care to address an evidence-practice gap in clinical practice.

The special two year, half-time Fellowships provide health professionals with mentoring, training, national and international networking and practical support to ensure their success.

Fellowships have previously been awarded across the range of health disciplines for research implementation projects in areas such as mental health, osteoporosis, stroke management, clinical practice guidelines and cardiovascular disease.
