Grant Description
The FHRI Fund Distinguished Fellows Program provides five-year fellowship packages to attract outstanding interstate and international senior research leaders to relocate to Western Australia and undertake globally recognised health and medical research. The program aims to strengthen WA’s research capacity and reputation, increase success in competitive national and international funding, support early- and mid-career researchers and research students, and generate research, health and commercial impacts. Research programs must align with WA Health and Medical Research Strategy priorities including Aboriginal health, precision health, regional and remote health, digital health and prevention. Standard FHRI Fund support is up to $3,750,000 per fellowship, with up to $4,500,000 available in exceptional circumstances where Reserve Funding is approved.
