About this scholarship
Each year the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ("NCEPH"), within the ANU College of Health and Medicine, may offer one award known as the Duguid Travelling Award ("the Award").
The objective/s of the Award is to support a HDR candidate based at NCEPH to undertake national or international travel in pursuit of their academic goals (e.g. to attend a conference, training, workshop, or collaborative meeting). Or for an external postgraduate student to come to the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health for an approved visit or program of study.
Funding for this Award has been provided by an endowment made in 2002 to The Australian National University's Endowment for Excellence by Dr Andrew Duguid and Mrs Rosemary Douglas. It recognises the contribution made by their late parents, Charles and Phyllis Duguid, who spent much of their lives working for the advancement of Australia's Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander population.
