Description
The Australia-USA Mobility Fund, administered by the Australian Academy of Science, is designed to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between emerging Australian health researchers and senior United States-based researchers. The program enables Australian PhD candidates and early-career researchers (ECRs, within five years post-PhD) to host established US researchers for short, focused visits in Australia. The fund emphasizes mentoring, skills development, and collaborative research in health-related fields of natural science, with a preference for cancer research. The aim is to deepen research expertise, strengthen international ties, and lay the groundwork for long-term partnerships between Australia and the United States.
