Recognising Research Excellence: Value Of Medicines Award
Recognising Research Excellence with the 2017
Value Of Medicines Award
Applications are now
open for the Medicines New Zealand 2017 Value of Medicines
Award. The award recognises research that improves the
understanding, effectiveness or safety of the use of
medicines in New Zealand.
The national award is open
to any researchers, professors, clinicians, students or
academics that have completed research in this area in the
last 24 months.
“This is an opportunity for
Medicines New Zealand to support researchers who provide new
insights and add to the discussion on the value that
medicines contribute to the health of New Zealanders,”
says Hon Heather Roy, Chair of Medicines New Zealand.
For the last six years a wide range of applicants
have had their research nominated for the Value of Medicines
Award. The application process has been simplified so it is
now quick and straightforward.
“Some of the studies
being performed here are world leading. As the
representative body of the innovative pharmaceutical
industry, Medicines New Zealand is pleased to recognise the
efforts of our local researchers,” says Dr Graeme Jarvis,
General Manager of Medicines New Zealand.
The Value
of Medicines Award 2017 winner will receive $20,000 to
further their research.
