The Pacific Health Research PhD Scholarships provide three years of personal support for outstanding graduates undertaking a PhD in any discipline related to improving the health of Pacific peoples. Applicants must be of indigenous Pacific descent. Most applicants will be enrolled full-time for a research-based degree at the doctoral level, usually a doctorate of philosophy at a New Zealand University. However, other applications from students enrolled in other doctoral research degrees or who are enrolled part-time may also be considered. Applicants who have not yet enrolled for their proposed course of study, but are intending to do so, may apply for a PhD scholarship. The applicants must have first-class qualifications and demonstrate consistently high grades, technically and academically outstanding. The applicant's research must demonstrate (A) the potential to significantly advance knowledge relevant to the health of the Pacific, (B) comprehensively address a Pacific health priority, and (C) can be expected to contribute substantially to Pacific workforce development or intellectual capital. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Health Research Council of New Zealand for more information.
