Are you an Early Career
Researcher? Did you publish a great piece of research in 2015?
You should apply for the 2016 Faculty of
Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences ECR Publication Prize!
Applications
for the Early Career Researcher Publication Prize open next Monday 9th May so
start preparing your application!
This year we
will be awarding 6 Discipline Specific Prizes and 2 Fellows Prizes.
Winners of the
ECR Publication Prizes in each category will receive $1000 for furthering their
career in research-related activities.
All nominees
for the 2016 Publication Prize will be asked to indicate whether they wish
their contact details to be provided to organisers of School and Departmental
seminar programs. This may provide an opportunity for ECR’s to present
their work to an external audience and gain new insight or collaborations for
future work.
This year
applicants will apply via an online application form using
FluidReview which can be accessed here.
(We welcome
feedback on the application process; please send to medicine.research@monash.edu)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Early Career Researcher?
The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences
defines an Early Career Researcher as someone appointed at Level A-C, who is
less than 10 years from award of their PhD. Career interruptions are
taken into consideration.
ECR’s who hold an independently funded fellowship
(e.g. ARC or NHMRC) are only eligible for the Fellows prize. ECR’s who
are Lab Heads or Group Leaders are ineligible to apply for this award.
What are the criteria?
·
The publication must be published in 2015 as either an epub with a 2015
online publication date or published in full with a 2015 publication date
including volume and page numbers.
·
Epubs must be available on the journal website and have first
been published online during 2015 (online publication date should be available
on journal website or pdf of publication). Publications that are
‘submitted’ or ‘accepted’ but are not available to view on the journal website
will not be considered.

You should be listed as first author, co-first author or last author on the

Why
should I apply? Surely there is someone with a Nature paper who will win
the award.
There
are six prizes available; one for each discipline in the Faculty. Your
publication will be assessed only against other publications from your
discipline by academics that are familiar with the discipline. Publications
will be assessed on 4 key criteria; originality of research, journal quality
(impact factor and rank), research impact and contribution to research.
You are required to provide a 100 word statement with your application that
outlines the impact of your research and your contribution to the publication.
