Why does this research matter?

Diabetes is a significant and growing concern in Australia, not just for those living with the condition but for society. Understanding the economic costs associated with diabetes, both direct and indirect, can provide invaluable insights that inform health policy decisions and guide strategic investments aimed at reducing the impact of this condition.

What is the research?

As a PhD candidate under this scholarship, you will engage in comprehensive research that explores:

1. Direct healthcare costs associated with diabetes and its complications.
2. Indirect costs including productivity loss, the financial burden on caregivers, and out-of-pocket expenses.
3. Variations in costs influenced by factors such as payer, geographic location, diabetes type, population subgroups, and other relevant factors.

What does the scholarship offer?

The scholarship offers an attractive stipend and professional support package of up to $60,000 per annum for three years. This generous support allows you to focus on your research and professional development with reduced stress of financial burdens.
