The National Youth Ambassador and runner up will be announced on 16 October.  As the 2008-09 Research Australia National Youth Ambassador, they will represent the views of young people at a national forum and have the chance to lead a team of young people who will work with us to develop the priorities for health and medical research into a report to be presented to leading research organisations, academic institutions, government, media and business.

Our National Youth Ambassador for Health Research will receive a  Toshiba Portege M700 Tablet Notebook PC valued at almost $4,000 and the runner up will receive a Video IPOD, but the real reward will be the opportunity to meet people working in health and medical research now, and to influence the priorities which will impact your generation and those to come.
