Introduction : Australia has benefited significantly from having a strong and internationally competitive scientific community. Continued investment in this resource is essential to the future progress of our industry and Australia.
The Pfizer Australia Research Fellowship invests in Australian science by providing grants to outstanding biomedical scientists so they may commit to a research career locally. The Fellowships are awarded to individual scientists of demonstrated capability, with significant future potential to attain leadership in their chosen field of research. These Fellowships allow successful applicants to continue their program of research at an Australian university or research institution, by providing a 5-year grant covering salary, travel and other establishment costs.
Pfizer Australia Research Fellowships are presided over by an Australian Board that consists of eminent representatives of the Australian scientific research community. The Board reviews the activities of the Fellowship, advises on the future plans of the Fellowship and provides scientific and strategic support to the programs.
