Career Development Award* – $400

ASPAH fosters performing arts medicine research by supporting postgraduate research students undertaking studies in an Australian University to present at the conference. Each year, a limited number of Career Development Awards (valued up to $400) will be granted to the highest calibre abstract submissions. This grant provides support to cover travel-related expenses for students presenting papers at ASPAH’s symposium. Students must be enrolled full time in postgraduate studies to be eligible for this award.
