The Adam J. Berry Memorial Fund

The Australian Academy of Science invites Expressions of Interest from junior scientists who are no more than 30 years of age, to visit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States of America between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2014. Proposals in any health-related field of natural science will be considered.

Under this scheme applicants are expected to be undertaking PhD study in an Australian institution or have an intent to enroll in PhD study in an Australian institution. Applicants can request travel support to access the international leading-edge research facilities and staff of the NIH. The proposed visit should initiate long-term collaborations and facilitate the development of the applicant’s career.

This scheme is funded by the Adam J. Berry Memorial Fund and is operated in collaboration with the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.
