The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is Australia’s peak body for supporting health and medical research; for developing health advice for the Australian community, health professionals and governments; and for providing advice on ethical behaviour in health care and in the conduct of health and medical research.
NHMRC has established the Bernie Banton Fellowship as an annual Fellowship to commemorate the life of Bernie Banton through supporting health and medical research related to mesothelioma. To be eligible to apply for this fellowship, an applicant should be working in the field of mesothelioma and asbestosis. The fellowship will be awarded to the most highly ranked applicant for this award in that funding cycle that has been specifically recommended for funding by the Peer Review panel.
