Description
The Australia-USA Mobility Fund, administered by the Australian Academy of Science, is designed to foster international research collaboration by enabling Australian PhD candidates and early-career researchers in health-related natural sciences to host senior United States-based researchers for short, focused visits. The program aims to enhance research expertise, facilitate knowledge exchange, and initiate long-term collaborative relationships, with a preference for cancer-related research. The grant supports visits that are applicant-centred and research-focused, providing direct benefit to the Australian researcher’s development and laying the groundwork for sustained Australia–United States scientific partnerships.
