The ACRBR is very keen to encourage students into the area of bioelectromagnetism in general, and more specifically into any of the areas of research.

If you think that you might like to gain some research experience in this area, either as a formal degree or as some more general 'work experience', please contact the ACRBR and discuss this with us.

Up to five $2000 scholarships were available in 2007 for substantial undergraduate final year research or design projects (e.g. Honours, final year design project) commencing in either semester 1 or 2 of 2007 in the area of EMR (electromagnetic radiation) with particular focus on radiofrequency. All Australian students undertaking a project in an area relevant to the ACRBR are welcome to apply.

More information for 2008 coming soon.

The ACRBR awarded the first of the 'ACRBR Undergraduate RF Bioeffects Research Project Awards' in December 2004, to Kieren Grogan, Julius Peh and Yi Min. These authors on the joint project shared the first prize of $2000 for their project titled:

"Low-cost automated system used in investigating human EEG activity changes in response to mobile phone EMF RF exposures"

A number of $2000 prizes are available each year for final year undergraduate research projects that focus on areas relevant to the ACRBR. If you're thinking of doing such a project or have already begun one, why not contact us for some more information on whether or not you are eligible.
