Participating FHS Schools/Disciplines

The Undergraduate Research Scholarships may support health science research in the following Schools (or Centres/Institutes) in the Faculty of Health Sciences:

... and in any other University Schools/Disciplines undertaking health science research. Projects can be carried out in University Schools/Disciplines, the IMVS and affiliated hospitals which provide appropriate facilities. They are to be supervised by an appropriate research worker or clinician who is required to supply a written agreement regarding his/her ability and willingness to provide the necessary supervision.

Eligibility

The Scholarships are open to undergraduate students of the University of Adelaide who intend to progress in their studies to undertake an honours degree, or a HB.MedSc degree for MBBS students, in a health science related area at the University of Adelaide. Applicants should have successfully completed at least two years of their course at the time the scholarship commences. All arrangements for acceptance and supervision by a University School/Discipline must be made by the applicant who may only hold one research scholarship at any one time. As a rule the project will be undertaken individually; however, consideration will be given to applicants who may elect to work in pairs on a particular project if such an arrangement has the approval of the relevant Academic Head of School. Each participant in a joint project must give a separate verbal presentation at the conclusion of the project.
