Research and Scholarship Program
The Australian Prime Ministers Centre offers Fellowships and Summer Scholarships to support research projects which investigate the lives, achievements and governments of Australia’s prime ministers.
Fellowships are available to established scholars or creative artists with a substantial record of achievement in their field. One Fellowship is also reserved for early career academics or creative artists with a record of high achievement. Summer Scholarships are open to students undertaking studies at final-year Honours or post-graduate level.
Applicants for the Fellowship program may propose a research, bibliographic or creative project. Summer Scholars may work on a project relating to the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House’s public history program or may propose an independent research topic. All projects should draw on at least one collection of prime ministerial material held in Australia or overseas. Projects which generate new ideas across cultural and academic boundaries are particularly encouraged.
Applications for the 2010-11 round of Fellowships will close on 30 June, 2010. Applications for Summer Scholarships will close on 1 October, 2010.
