Taylor-Hammond Research ScholarshipAbout the ScholarshipThe Anatomy of Complications Workshop was established in 2000 by Dr John Taylor and Professor Ian Hammond, Fellows of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG), with the objective of increasing knowledge and performance in the prevention and management of complications arising from obstetric and gynaecological surgery. Arising from its success, the conveners of the Anatomy of Complications Workshop have established this scholarship to assist a young researcher in Australia or New Zealand to undertake a project to increase the knowledge and understanding of a particular aspect of obstetric or gynaecological practice. Conditions of AwardThe purpose of the Scholarship is to promote clinical or basic research in women’s health. The research is to be undertaken in Australia or New Zealand. It is envisaged that the Scholarship would have the potential for a significant impact in areas which had not previously attracted a great deal of research funding. EligibilityThe Scholarship is open to Fellows of the College of less than five years standing or Members of the College seeking to qualify for Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists who are normally resident in Australia or New Zealand. The Scholarship Selection Committee and the Board of Directors of the RANZCOG Research Foundation recognise that at the time of application, some candidates may not have attained their Membership of the RANZCOG, but can reasonably be expected to do so prior to the commencement of their planned research. The Board has therefore approved two situations in which an applicant may be awarded the Taylor-Hammond Research Scholarship conditional upon the candidate attaining their Membership prior to commencing their research.
