The Doherty Institute Awards were created to recognise staff and students who contribute positively to the Institute’s identity, impact and culture. We acknowledge staff at different stages of their careers and projects through the Junior Investigators Abstract Awards, the Translational and Clinical Research Discipline Seed Grant, the Outstanding Publication Award, the Work in Progress Seminars Seed Grant, Doherty Institute Collaborative Grant and the Innovation and Initiative Award. The Institute celebrates diversity with the Equity in Science Award, and the Good Citizen Award acknowledges staff who go above and beyond to create a positive and inspiring workplace.
