UQ Poche Centre Indigenous Health RHD Scholarship
The UQ Poche Centre brings together Indigenous and health expertise across the University, and works collaboratively with Indigenous community organisations and health providers, on improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The Centre has two key areas of focus:
developing a skilled and available workforce in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health; and
improving urban Indigenous health outcomes across the life course.
Study for the scholarship must be targeted at improving health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people in an urban setting.
Applicants are expected to:
Undertake research that responds to needs identified by Indigenous communities and aims to improve urban Indigenous health outcomes across the life course, from maternal and child health, through adolescence to the challenges of chronic disease and ageing, with a major focus on prevention and education.
Produce research, in collaboration with primary health care providers, which translates to immediate outcomes for Indigenous communities.
This scholarship is awarded via a competitive scholarship process, but applicants can apply at any time. The scholarship will remain open until all scholarships are filled.
