The Alan Mackay-Sim Spinal Cord Injury Travelling Fellowship
The Alan Mackay‐Sim Spinal Cord Injury Travelling Fellowship was established to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life for people with a spinal cord injury (SCI). It supports projects that have an emphasis on clinical management, rehabilitation or social support for people with a SCI.
Fellowships will fund overseas travel to centres of best practice for spinal cord injury to pursue a project that is not readily achievable in Australia. Support for travel to benefit basic research on biological mechanisms, novel treatment strategies (e.g. clinical drug trials), etc. is specifically excluded.
The value of the fellowship will differ each year depending on the proposed study program. The maximum value of the fellowship is $35,000.
