Description
The Robert Wrigley Pain Research Scholarship is administered by the RANZCOG Women’s Health Foundation to promote improved care of patients with pelvic pain. Established in 2012 through a donation from the late Robert Wrigley, it supports research in gynaecologic surgery or surgical teaching directed towards better pelvic pain treatment.
The scholarship supports eligible early-career Fellows, members seeking Fellowship, and Advanced FRANZCOG trainees. Funded activities must reasonably be expected to improve the treatment of pelvic pain. The award may provide seed funding for a research project or support an extended stay at an overseas pain treatment centre. Intending to pursue Fellowship in the Faculty of Pain Medicine alongside RANZCOG Fellowship is desirable, but not essential.
