2024 Mary McConnel Career Boost Program for Women in Paediatric Research

This year, the Children’s Hospital Foundation has relaunched the 2024 Mary McConnel Career Boost Program for Women in Paediatric Research.

Available to employees of Children’s Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service, this grant scheme will provide financial assistance and mentoring support for outstanding female clinician researchers, from pre-PhD through to early and mid-career stages.

Through the 2024 Mary McConnel Career Boost Program for Women in Paediatric Research, Children’s Hospital Foundation is committed to supporting the Children’s Health Queensland Research Strategy 2023 – 2025 and developing the CHQ workforce, particularly clinician researchers who have not been eligible to apply previously.

This focus on health research within the statewide service of Children’s Health Queensland will create opportunities for women in paediatric research to progress their future as clinician researchers – delivering transformational impact for children and young people in Queensland and beyond.

Details of this round, including guidelines and FAQs, are available here. Applications close at 5pm on Wednesday 17 April 2024.
