JD Smyth Postgraduate Travel Awards

Financial assistance is to be provided to full-time postgraduate student members of at least 6 months standing who are enrolled at a recognised Australian University for the purpose of travelling overseas to gain knowledge on techniques that may not be available in Australia, to form liaisons that may benefit their careers in the longer term and to promote the cause of parasitology in Australia. The fellowship is not provided for the primary purpose of attending a conference. The maximum value of the fellowship is to be determined annually by the Council. Recipients are to be chosen by a selection committee appointed by Council.

Applications should include details of the travel to be undertaken, the applicants research, evidence of the supervisor's support and an abbreviated CV. If attendance at a conference is to form part of the travel then a copy of the conference abstract should also be included. The application must not number more than 6 pages including the CV and abstract (if applicable).

Awardees will be required to provide a report of their trip within three months of return from their travel.

Applications should be received by the due dates: December 31st and June 30th.
