Overview
ANU's McMichael Award offers one eligible early- or mid-career domestic ANU researcher up to A$30,000 for a 12-month human–environment health research project.
Complete grant details
The McMichael Award supports interdisciplinary research at the intersection of human and environmental health, including climate change, planetary health, population health, equity, public policy, environmental science and related fields. Funding can support activities such as fieldwork, data collection, research staff, analysis, equipment, training, travel, publication and dissemination. One award is offered in 2026.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be domestic researchers—Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens, Australian permanent residents or permanent humanitarian visa holders—and salaried ANU researchers 3–9 years full-time-equivalent from PhD completion. They must be continuing or have at least 12 months remaining on contract at award receipt, not be on extended leave without pay, and not hold a Category 1 fellowship or equivalent at the time of award.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against the current ANU NCEPH page. The source confirms one 2026 award, up to A$30,000 over 12 months, the domestic ANU researcher and 3–9 years post-PhD eligibility rules, and the 1–30 September 2026 application window. The page states 9am/11pm but no timezone, so the machine deadline is intentionally null. No repository match was found before creation.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
