About this scholarship

In memory of Noel Keith, the Keith Family Research Endowment Clinician Scientist PhD Scholarship is being made available for a clinician to define a research program in a field or discipline relevant to haematology involving clinical research and/or trials. Kent Keith's support of medical research began when his first wife, Noel, passed away from leukaemia in 2001. To honour Noel's wishes, Kent established the Keith Family Research Endowment in Clinical Haematology at the ANU College of Science and Medicine. Kent passed away in 2019 and his wife Marion Keith has chosen to continue the family legacy.
