A PhD top-up grant of $10,000 per annum for up to three years is being offered to a science or allied health PhD student who is undertaking research within the spinal cord injury (SCI) field at an Australian university. This offering furthers the SRI’s commitment to support emerging and early career researchers to build SCI research capability and capacity, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of people with SCI.
The grant is named in honour of SRI founder, Associate Professor Doug Brown AM, to recognise his more than 40 years of dedicated work in the field of spinal cord injury treatment, care and research, and his commitment to supporting emerging researchers in this field.
