WHY the Neuroscience Research (NSR) Grants? NSR is designed to offer young medically-qualified neuroscientists the opportunity to obtain funds to conduct their own state of the art research, benefiting the Australian Medical community and contributing to our knowledge of neuroscience. HOW much investment will be made for the NSR Grants? Pfizer Australia will commit AUD$300,000 per annum to this initiative. Research Grants will be allocated through a panel of Australian physicians of the highest calibre in the field of neuroscience. WHAT will be the amount of a NSR Grant? A NSR Grant would be up to AUD$44,000 (including GST) and is provided for a period of one year. HOW will the NSR Grants be assessed? NSR has adopted a similar approach to NH&MRC, hence initial assessment of applications will be made by independent external referees and the ultimate assessment and decision will be made by the Australian Physicians Independent Committee (APIC). Proposals for therapeutic trials involving neuroscience drugs will be referred to the Pfizer Head Office in New York before following the same process. WHAT is the composition of the Australian Physicians Independent Committee? In 2007, the APIC is composed of the following leading physicians from around Australia:
Administrative support will be provided by the Secretariat, which comprises medical/ administrative staff from Pfizer Australia. HOW can I obtain further information?
