JCSMR Gender Equity Fund
The Australian National University (ANU)
Each year the John Curtin School of Medical Research (the JCSMR) in the ANU College of Health & Medicine may offer funding of up to $10,000 from the JCSMR Gender Equity Fund. Funding has been provided by a generous initial donation by Professor Carola Vinuesa and continues with the support of Richard Miller and the School, as funding permits. The objective of this Fund is to provide funding for an early or mid-career researcher or domestic or international PhD student who is experiencing significant career disruption resulting from the birth of a child, or the primary care of a child, which limits or prevents their career progression and research activities in the John Curtin School of Medical Research.
Eligibility
a female-identifying researcher at the JCSMR who holds a current academic appointment at level A-C and intends to return to a career in research; a continuing domestic or international female-identifying student who is enrolled in a program of study for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, based in the John Curtin School of Medical Research (the JCSMR) and, in relation to the birth or care of a child,; is experiencing a period of significant career disruption (generally at least 12 weeks) or expects to do so within the next 6 months; within the last 12 months, has applied for or returned from a period of career disruption (generally at least 12 weeks).
