The Gould Experimental Science Grant was established to support graduate research candidates undertaking experimental research as part of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program at Adelaide University.
Established through a personal gift from Dr Ian Gould, former Chancellor of the University of South Australia, the Grant encourages hands-on research where candidates actively engage in experimental work and collect and analyse their own data.
Successful applicants will receive a $10,000 grant to support the costs of experimental research data collection and analysis.
Eligibility
To be eligible, you must:
- Be enrolled full-time in the second or third year in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program at Adelaide University
- Be undertaking research with a significant experimental component
Both domestic and international students are eligible to apply.
Selection criteria
The Grant will be awarded via a competitive selection process managed by the Adelaide University Graduate Research School, based on academic merit, research potential, and the quality and impact of the proposed experimental research.
The selection panel may decide not to award the Grant if there is no suitable candidate.
Important information
The Grant may be held in conjunction with other scholarships.
The Grant does not provide travel costs to or from Australia.
