A new fellowship scheme to support dementia research is seeking Australia's leading up-and-coming researchers to apply.
The fellowship is being funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) 聽and the Australian Research Council ((ARC) and was announced by Minister for Education and Training, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP.
鈥淒ementia is an incredibly complex disease and one that requires knowledge from all walks of research 鈥� neuroscience, bioinformatics, cultural, social and economic research to name only a few,鈥� Minister Pyne said.
鈥淭hese NHMRC-ARC fellowships ensure we are attracting researchers from all fields, each with an important piece of the puzzle to add,鈥� he said.
Importantly, the fellowships are targeted to researchers who are still early in their careers.
鈥淒espite the rising prevalence of this disease, our understanding of dementia and our diagnostic tools are still in their infancy. "To make a real dent in this we need new thinking and creative ideas. "I believe Australia鈥檚 up and coming researchers have the drive and the enthusiasm to make an enormous contribution,鈥� Mr Pyne said.
鈥淭hese fellowships are an exciting opportunity for researchers to look beyond their current work and make a difference to the future lives of hundreds of thousands of Australians,鈥� he said.
Up to $46 million of ARC-NHMRC funding is allocated to build the future research workforce by dramatically expanding capacity in dementia research.
The Australian Government has already announced other elements of its dementia initiative including NHMRC Dementia Research Team Grants and the establishment of the NHMRC .聽The Institute will target and co-ordinate the national research effort and ensure translation into better treatments, care and services to dementia sufferers, carers and their communities.
Researchers can now apply for the grants through NHMRC. Further information is available
