BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS AVAILABLE IN MANAWATU
The Palmerston North Medical Research Foundation is a charitable organisation which makes available research funds to facilitate biomedical research in Palmerston North and its environs.
In addition to the General Grants which the Foundation allocates once each year, the Board of the Foundation is pleased to announce that it will now make two new forms of research support available:
The Wilson Grant ($20,000) which will be available annually, to fund research projects which relate to cardiovascular disease or cancer.
PNMRF Summer Scholarships for support of tertiary students during the summer vacation while they work within an appropriate biomedical research project.
The Foundation particularly encourages applications for:
- Medically related projects, especially those of special relevance to the local region.
- Research work which encourages co-operation between the local research institutions.
- Support of younger researchers.
- Seeding money to help establish new research programmes
The Palmerston North Medical Research Foundation mainly derives its funding base as donations and bequests from supportive members of the public as well as from membership subscriptions. The Board acknowledges the generous support it has received in the past and are happy at all times to discuss the role and aims of the Foundation with anyone interested in joining or supporting the Foundation in the future.
