Why nominate?

 

As the national peak body for health and medical research, Research Australia’s health and medical research Awards are highly regarded and coveted in the health and medical research sector.

The research profile of finalists and award winners is greatly increased within the sector through recognition on Research Australia’s media channels as well as our partners and sponsors.

Success drives other research opportunities for you and your collaborators.

Whilst this prestigious event showcases the amazing contributions from leaders in the sector it is also an opportunity to nominate those starting their journey in research.
