Scholarship opportunity

Professional development opportunities

Manna Institute is building place-based research capacity to improve mental health in regional, rural, and remote Australia. Are you a regional, rural or remote mental health researcher keen to be supported to present your work?

If you are accepted to present a paper or a poster on a topic related to regional mental health at a conference in 2024, you can apply for a $500 scholarship to assist with the cost to attend.

You will need to complete a short application here, as well as submitting your acceptance email and abstracts via mannainstitute@une.edu.au

All we ask in return is that you acknowledge that you were partially funded to attend the conference by Manna and then share one of the following slides at the end of your presentation.

There is an amazing variety of partnerships and projects that are thriving beneath the expansive canopy of the Manna Institute.

And the beauty is, these opportunities will only continue to grow as more people and communities engage with our important research.

This webinar Professor Sonja March hosted in early August outlines 20 projects now underway on the themes of; Child, Youth and Family, Health and Wellbeing in Later Life, Disability and Chronic Disease, Physical Health, Distress and Suicide.

You can find more information on the investigators, project summaries and research methodologies in this booklet or hear from the researchers themselves in the recording of the webinar. We have a wonderful network of experts now contributing to Manna’s goals. Your enthusiasm for finding new solutions to old challenges is nothing short of inspiring. And it’s not too late for others to join in. We welcome research students eager to collaborate and learn with us, so please get in touch if you or someone you know is interested.
