Exceptional, visionary, biomedical research leaders.

The flagship Snow Medical program to develop Australia’s next generation of outstanding biomedical research leaders ($22.7M)

Snow Fellowships target emerging global research leaders that show the potential to drive, manage and influence the next generation of health and medical innovation. The Fellowship provides these emerging leaders the independence, funding and time to develop a bold research program, build their research team, and establish leadership experience.

Each Snow Fellowship will be valued at approximately $8 million over eight years for eligible early to mid-career researchers. Fellowship funding will be available to set up and operate a research laboratory, comprising salaries for the Snow Fellow and post doctoral researchers, PhD student scholarship top-ups, technical and laboratory management support, project funds and leadership development.

The Snow Fellowship program supports ambitious research and high performing teams, and we believe that these are based on diversity, inclusivity and gender equality.
