Clinician Research Fellowships

The program is designed to encourage clinicians employed by WA Health Service Providers to develop their research capability while continuing some clinical duties. The program also facilitates high-quality research that will ultimately provide better health care outcomes. The research must be undertaken in WA and be of direct relevance to the WA public health system.

Applications are invited from eligible clinicians who are early- and mid-career researchers with minimal or no paid research time working in health care disciplines:

• as medical doctors or dentists (Stream A)
• as allied health, nursing and midwifery professionals (Stream B)

The research must be undertaken in WA and be of direct relevance to the WA public health system.

Fellowship funding will provide salary support for research duties up to 0.5 FTE, as well as contribute to minor research costs. The duration of each Fellowship can be up to three years, depending on the extent of the research proposal. During the term of the Fellowship, clinical duties in a WA Health Service Provider institution(s) must be maintained at a minimum of 0.3 FTE.
