Applications for the Fielding Foundation 2017 Fellowship, and expressions of interest for the 2017 Fielding Innovation Award, are now invited.

The Award and Fellowship are both made possible by a generous $1 million donation from Melbourne businessman and philanthropist, Mr Peter Fielding.

The recipient of the 2015/16 Fielding Foundation Fellowship, Dr Rebecca Lim, has progressed her amnion cell research into safety trials for premature lung disease.

The recipient of the 2015/16 Fielding Innovation Award, Associate Professor Marcel Nold, has significantly progressed the commercial potential of his team’s research into inflammatory diseases.

The Fielding Foundation Fellowship aims to support the Institute’s most promising and brightest young scientist for one year from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017.

The Fellowship is targeted at researchers with between three years and no more than 12 years’
