  • Foster innovation in imaging capability with the goal of improving patient care
  • Fund fellowships and scholarships to New Zealand based educational institutions
  • Facilitate the publication of research in international and local academic journals

Application requirements

  • Although applicants are usually medical students, we welcome applications from other fields of study
  • These grants are only available to students studying at 
New Zealand tertiary institutions
  • You must be able to demonstrate potential long term health benefits for the community
