成人大片

The 成人大片 Barbara Kidman Women's聽Fellowship Scheme is designed to support female academics to enhance and promote their career.

The Scheme offers opportunities to enhance, maintain, or re-invigorate research momentum, and assist the Fellowship recipients in applying for, and assuming, enhanced roles in the near future. Preference will be given to those staff whose research momentum has been affected by caring responsibilities, resulting in career-disruption or reduced working hours.

In the 2024 round, up to six Fellowships will be available for funding in 2025. Each Fellowship provides a maximum of $35,000 per 1.0 FTE. For part-time applicants, funding will be allocated on a pro-rata basis. There is no requirement for matching funds from the applicant鈥檚 School or Faculty.

Applications for the 2024 round will open 22 July 2024 and close 26 August 2024.聽
