The Award was established as a perpetual tribute to a person whose foresight, skill and courage helped found health librarianship in Australia. With the assistance of the Award, others may be encouraged to make their own contribution.
Awards are intended to supplement the activities of the Australian Library and Information Association in supporting specific projects and providing study grants.
The value of the Award can be up to $10,000
Applications for the biennial Award are invited from all Australian health library and information professionals. Applicants are not limited to ALIA members or to librarians, provided proposals meet the objectives of the Fund.
Funding is available for research projects, study or a publication.
