Scholarships and fellowships

Deeble Institute Scholarship Program

The Deeble Institute for Health Policy Research Scholarships Program aims to strengthen the health services research-policy interface by contributing to an evidence informed workforce and a policy literate academic sector.

Working alongside staff at the peak national health body, the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA), scholarship recipients will be supported to establish connections with policymakers and practitioners working in their field of research and to produce a Health Policy Issues Brief that engages health policy leaders in an area of national health policy significance.
