In 2019 NCCRED developed a multidisciplinary mentoring and training program.
In our inaugural year, 3 Research Fellows were selected from a competitive application process, informed by the fellow’s experience, interest and career aspirations.
Applications were accepted from clinicians of any multidisciplinary background (e.g. Nursing, Allied Health, Medical), practicing in the Alcohol and Other Drugs sector.
The candidates have been partnered with a senior clinician-researcher in collaboration with NCCRED staff.
NCCRED have contributed to the Research Fellow’s salary in a 0.5 FTE “buy-back”, whereby they replace the candidate’s salary from their primary employment for the 1-year fellowship term.
