SpinalCure Australia is proud to offer the

I. Peter Farrell SpinalCure Fellowship

This prestigious award provides AUD$1.5million over five years to support an outstanding early/mid-career researcher undertaking innovative research which takes steps towards the goal of a cure for spinal cord injury. 

Eligible applications will investigate novel ways to restore and/or protect communication between brain and body after a spinal cord injury, or to enhance our understanding of the spinal cord, thereby advancing the field of cure-related research. Basic science and pre-clinical projects are particularly encouraged. 

The Fellowship has been made possible by the generosity of Caroline Farrell, in memory of her late husband, a successful computer scientist who lived with a spinal cord injury for 17 years after a car accident left him with tetraplegia.

Eligible candidates will be 3–10 years post award of their PhD and be in a position to work in Australia for the term of the Fellowship. 

Applications close 31st July 2024 with the Fellowship term commencing in January 2025.
