Academic conference funding available
The opportunity to access funding from the School of Rural Health Conference Fund is now open and it is suggested all those interested have a look at the guidelines and application forms. Good use was made of the fund in 2012, with a number of staff enjoying the learning and travel opportunities presented.
A few examples of the funding provided included Melinda Goodyear from MUDRIH presenting papers at the Child and Youth Mental Health Matters conference in Canada, while Pam Snow from Bendigo completed a National Communications Skills Training course in the United Kingdom.
As part of the University’s Professionalising Research Management Plan, Lisa Lavey and Michelle Moon attended the Australasian Research Management Society’s annual conference in Queensland.
Margaret Stebbing from MUDRIH facilitated workshops at the 2012 Mount Isa Remote Health conference.
The funding is provided in conjunction with units within the School, and supports staff members attending national and international conferences.
Guidelines and application forms for the Conference Fund can be found on the School of Rural Health Intranet.
