The Sylvia and Charles Viertel Charitable Foundation was established by Charles Viertel to benefit organisations or institutions involved in medical research into diseases along with the alleviation of hardship of the aged and the sick.
Applications are invited for a five-year Senior Medical Research Fellowship valued at $275,000 per annum to be held in Australia to commence in 2025.
At least two Fellowships will be awarded each year at the Foundation's Trustees discretion. Additionally, the Foundation is collaborating with Bellberry Ltd to offer an extra Fellowship each year. The Bellberry-Viertel Fellowship will have the same value and be offered on the same terms as the other two Fellowships each year. The Foundation intends to award at least one Fellowship to an eligible female applicant.
The Fellowships are an integral part of a scheme that is intended to provide both salary and project grant support for outstanding Australian medical researchers. The total value of the award is $1,375,000.
