New Heart and Lung Foundation Research Fellowship Grant

We are pleased to announce a new grant to replace our Senior Fellowship grant.

The Heart and Lung Foundation Research Fellowship aims to provide investigators at all career stages with pro-rata salary support for full-time or part-time research up to $100,000 per annum. Fellowships are tenable for one year and may be extended up to three years if a doctoral degree is being pursued. Applicants will be either an ADHB employee in one of the Services represented by the Trustees on the Fund Board or may be a University of Auckland employee where the proposed research is part of a conjoined program with one of the Services represented by the Fund. Two fellowships will be funded at any one time and must be taken up within 12 months of the award.
