This successful program, funded by Harvard Club of Australia Foundation, is now accepting applications for calendar 2010.

Deadline for applications is 18 September 2009.

Successful applicants will be notified by end-December 2009.
 
HCA Foundation started the program in 2005 and, to date, has awarded twenty-two Fellowships. They appeal to mid-career and senior Harvard-based science and technology researchers intending collaborative projects in Australia.

The Fellowships are tenable at eligible Australian institutions. These include all of the nation’s universities and most prominent research centres. A working visit of several months is normally envisaged, during which Fellows are encouraged to interact additionally with educators and students in their vicinity. Two new options are available to senior applicants. One is a shorter visit so as to take a primary role in a workshop, seminar or instructional course, particularly if open to numbers of Australians seeking to further their knowledge in the applicant’s specialized field. Another option is the opportunity to undertake longer studies, for example, of sabbatical duration. 

A one-page PDF here (“Application”) sets out some guidelines for successful applications. It also defines who is eligible, what the Fellowship covers, and what to include in your straight-forward online submission.
