Each year, the association offers a number of fellowships of up to US$40,000 to Australian researchers for advanced research (graduate or postgraduate) in the US.
The fellowships aims to build on social and economic partnerships as well as foster intellectual exchange between the two countries.
Fields of research supported by the fellowships include science, sustainability, neurology, paediatrics, medicine, technology, mathematics, engineering, geosciences and business.
The fellowships are intended to support part of the costs of one year of research/study in the US.
