NSR Grants

Important Message: 2008 NSR Grants

Applications for 2008 NSR Grants have now closed.
The APIC will review applications in the last quarter of 2008.

All applicants, successful or not, will be notified in writing towards the end of each calendar year. To find out how to apply or get more information, visit the links on this website.

In 2008 Pfizer Australia will celebrate a total of over AUD$3 million in Neuroscience Research Grants provided to more than 65 grant recipients.

The NSR Grants were established in 2002 to support clinical and basic research into Neurology, Psychiatry, Pain Medicine, and related therapeutic areas. Applications are invited from medical graduates who have obtained specialist qualifications within the last five years, or are currently in advanced training, or have returned to research after an appropriate break.

Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents and the majority of the research must be conducted within Australia.

Funding for NSR Grants will be up to AUD$44,000 (including GST). Each grant is for a period of 12 months.

All applications are reviewed initially by two independent expert referees. The final decision is then made by the Australian Physicians Independent Committee (APIC), composed of ten leading specialists.
