QUT (In Health): Our group at the Queensland University of Technology has developed diagnostic assays for Ross River and dengue virus infections that have been turned into global commercial products. We have participated in the human clinical trials of Japanese encephalitis and Ross River virus vaccines. We developed the Ross River virus vaccine. We are a WHO Collaborating Centre for Arbovirus Reference and Research and have collaborated with institutes in Asia and the Pacific for more than 25 years in arbovirus research. We have ongoing programs of research and research training tailored to the needs of the visitors. These are funded by national and international public and private funding agencies.

· The ARC Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Coral Reef Studies welcomes enquires from all suitably qualified post-doctoral researchers and PhD candidates, and will help in the preparation of relevant fellowship and scholarship applications. Potential PhD students will need to apply for a government scholarship, with applications due in August of each year, but students must make contact with the CoE and identify suitable supervisors prior to preparing an application. International scholarships are very limited, but students who have already completed a graduate degree and thesis (e.g., Masters) with at least one first-authored publication will be competitive. The CoE offers a range of post-doctoral fellowships (advertised periodically on the CoE website), but researchers with a strong track record of publications should apply for an ARC Fellowship, which provide fellowship and research support for 3-5 years and are available to researchers at all stages of career.
New Zealand:
· ESR (Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited) has the following awards and fellowships. The purpose of this important programme is to support projects that benefit staff and advance ESR in priority areas. The programmes provide ESR with a means of rapid innovation and are a tool for rewarding staff who have contributed significantly to the organisation. The schemes that make up the programme aim to support staff development and innovation in ESR in areas of science and its management that are of strategic importance. The schemes will support projects and activities that are outside normal staff training programmes that are directly funded at the discretion of Resource Managers. The present programme consists of six schemes (Senior fellowship, Study awards, International fellowship, Post-graduate scholarship, Maori development scholarship fund, Pacific development scholarship fund, Joint ESR/University scholarship). These schemes are all competitive and there is a separate application process for each of them.
