The Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund Distinguished Fellows program 2024-25 (the Program) aims to attract outstanding research leaders (the Fellows) to Western Australia (WA), to build capacity and lead high quality, globally recognised research in WA.

The Program will provide attractive Fellowship packages consisting of salary support as well as other research personnel salaries, direct research funding and relocation costs up to the value of $5 million over 5 years with 75 per cent of the costs provided by the FHRI Fund.

Fellowships will be made available to international or interstate senior research leaders, appointable at academic Level D or E, or equivalent clinical level, to relocate to WA and undertake a significant program of research. Funding will be provided on a competitive basis.

The program of research will need to align with at least one of the strategic areas of the WA Health and Medical Research Strategy 2023-2033, which include: Aboriginal health, precision health, regional and remote, digital health, and prevention.
