Clinical and postdoctoral fellowships
The Leukaemia Foundation provides support for the educational and professional development of researchers, medical students and health professionals.
We offer clinical and postdoctoral fellowships of up to $100,000 pa. These awards are to support basic, applied and translational research in Australia into the causes, treatment and care of people with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. Selections will be made by an independent panel of experts. Grants will be awarded for one year but extensions may be considered from successful applicants in subsequent funding rounds.

Applications for clinical and postdoctoral fellowships will be open in April each year. Applications for fellowships close on July 25 in 2008.
