Each annual payment has an in-kind component and a cash component. These days may only be used by the Fellow and one or more assistants who accompany the Fellow. Unused bench fee days are not convertible to cash. Applications for funding over one, two or three years are acceptable. Australia's new Goods and Services Tax will apply to this fellowship but the details have yet to be finalised.
Subsequent funding depends upon suitable progress.
A bound copy of the Fellow's thesis must be lodged in the Station's library. The application should be sent to the above address as either six hard copies or by e-mail. If e-mail is used, the entire application must be sent in the body of the message, NOT as an attachment, and a single copy of the supporting letter should be sent separately by mail. If formatting or other factors preclude this, then the application must be sent by mail. If necessary, the application can be faxed to achieve submission by the closing date, but six hard copies must be posted on the same day.
