Acting Director’s message
Welcome to the twelfth issue of the NSW Office for Science and Medical Research E-newsletter.
Award season is firmly upon us with the application deadlines for several important awards now fast approaching. I invite NSW scientists to consider nominating a talented colleague or peer for the NSW Scientist of the Year awards which now offer $60,000 in prize money for the overall winner.
Researchers working in traditional chinese medicine or proteomics will be interested in the recently announced pilot round of the China-NSW Collaborative Research Program which offers up to $500,000 to NSW teams who join forces with Chinese partners in research and technology.
Finally, I encourage the NSW science and medical research community to consider how they might participate in National Science Week in August this year by holding or supporting a fun event.
