Closing date extended to 2 July for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scientist Award

The Australian Academy of Science is extending the deadline for applications to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scientist Award.

The award recognises research in the physical and biological sciences conducted by outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander PhD students and early- and mid-career scientists. It allows interdisciplinary and sociocultural research that could straddle the social sciences and humanities.

The aim is to support the recipients’ research and/or the expansion and growth of their research networks and international knowledge exchange through visits to relevant international centres of research. Awards are for up to $20,000, with additional support provided to attend the Academy's Science at the Shine Dome event.

The deadline for the 2024 round of applications is 11:59 PM (AEST) on Sunday 2 July 2023.
