Professional Development awards
The David Collins Leukaemia Foundation of Tasmania calls for applications for scholarships for professional development in leukaemia treatment, research or support. Applications are open to Tasmanian nurses, allied health professionals and postgraduate students.
Awards will be given to assist applicants to participate in an approved course of professional development or to attend a conference or seminar (or arrange and in-house seminar/course) recognised by the appropriate peer organisation and directly related to the improvement of leukaemia treatment, research or support.
Awards may be used to assist with travel, accommodation, registration, or other costs associated with the program of development.
Preference will be given to applicants:
- Seeking professional development opportunities, which are not available in Tasmania;
- Who demonstrate that the knowledge and skills acquired will be shared with their Tasmanian colleagues and others concerned with leukaemia treatment, research or support;
- Who, if attending a conference, are presenting their own work. An abstract, including all authors, must accompany the application;
- Who propose co-funding arrangements (eg: part employee, part employer);
Applications must include full costing and be accompanied by letters of support from two referees.
Awardees will be required:
- to provide a brief plain English written report for possible release to Tasmanian media and publication in the DCLF Newsletter;
- to address a David Collins Leukaemia Foundation of Tasmania General Meeting on the benefits of their Award at a suitable time following its completion.
