The overarching aim of the postdoctoral fellowship is to develop talented and skilled health researchers during the postdoctoral stage of their research career. There is a particular emphasis on the application of analytical techniques to registry data to answer research questions, ultimately impacting on health policy and clinical practice. This fellowship will support the researcher through a mentored postdoctoral period, offering an opportunity to progress along the research career Journey.

Training

Training and professional development activities should support the individual to develop a research career and take an active role in applying research findings to policy and practice in the local, national and international context.
