Description
The Mary Elizabeth Courier Research Scholarship supports research into gynaecological cancer or high-risk pre-cancerous lesions. It is offered by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) through its Women’s Health Foundation. Established in 2008 through a bequest from Auguste John Courier in memory of his late wife, the scholarship provides dedicated support for research in these areas of gynaecological health.
The award is intended for medical graduates undertaking research at a hospital, university department or research institute in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand. Assessment considers the applicant’s research experience and career development alongside project quality, feasibility, supervisory support and potential contribution to women’s health.
