PSANZ David Henderson-Smart Scholarship

Emeritus Professor David Henderson-Smart had a long history of association with the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand (PSANZ). He was a founding member of the Australian Perinatal Society and championed the development of new researchers in all disciplines. In 2007, he retired from active academic and clinical work and was honoured with a ‘festschrift’ to celebrate his work. The proceeds resulting from this day were generously donated by the organising committee (at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney) to PSANZ .

Professor Henderson-Smart died on 7 February 2013. PSANZ has maintained the PSANZ David Henderson-Smart Scholarship to enable his vision of perinatal research and evidence-based practice to be realised. This Scholarship is focused on assisting our brightest early career researchers in developing a research career in perinatal medicine.

Purpose
The PSANZ DHS Scholarship will be used to fund first-time researchers who have not previously been a Senior Chief Investigator on a grant from a major national or international granting body (e.g. NHMRC, ARC, NHF, NIH, and MRC).
