Description
The Australia-USA Mobility Fund is designed to empower emerging Australian health researchers—specifically PhD candidates and early-career researchers (ECRs)—to host senior United States-based researchers for short, focused visits in Australia. The program aims to foster hands-on collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge exchange, with a strong preference for projects related to cancer research within the broader health-related natural sciences. The initiative builds on the legacy of the Adam J Berry Memorial Fund, aiming to deepen expertise, establish international research partnerships, and lay the foundation for long-term Australia–US research connections. Visits must be research-focused and applicant-centred, providing direct benefit to the Australian researcher’s career development.
