ADRF Grant Success for MDS Researchers
The Australian Dental Research Foundation (ADRF) offers a range of Research Grants that are awarded annually. These grants are intended for researchers wishing to undertake dental or oral health research projects which have a direct or indirect impact on the clinical practice of dentistry.
In 2020 the Melbourne Dental School researchers had successes to the sum of $36,040.
This is a fantastic result in a year that presented many challenges to individuals and research teams to manage projects, teaching and related research activities, such as preparing research proposals.
Among the MDS recipients is Master of Biomedical Science student, Ms Tamara Matthyssen, under the supervision of Early Career Researcher, Dr Wenyi Li.
We would like to congratulate all of the 2020 MDS recipients and wish them well with their projects.
The 2021 ADRF Grants Round closes to applications on 31 Mar 2021.
