The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences has received more than $5.6million in the latest round of funding.from the Australian Research Council (ARC).
ARC Future Fellowships is a scheme that promotes research in Australia in areas of critical national importance through attracting and retaining outstanding mid-career researchers. Currently many highly qualified mid-careers researchers choose to work overseas due to limited opportunities in Australia. Future Fellowships help address this problem and boosts Australia’s research and innovation capacity.
