Thanks to the generous support of The Cubit Family Foundation, we are delighted to congratulate and welcome the successful recipients of this year’s Cubit Family Foundation Early Career Researcher (ECR) Grant:

​

Dr Naomi James (Kenya)

Mrs Veronica Nyawira (Kenya)

Dr Fatima Dangor (South Africa)

Dr Jeannere Irene Jordaan (South Africa)

Dr Samira Niena Majeed (Ghana)

​

Each of the successful applicants demonstrated a strong commitment to research or clinical practice in various aspects of women’s mental health, with the grant providing support and resources for five researchers and clinicians from low- and middle-income countries to attend the Second Asia-Pacific Conference on Women’s Mental Health.

​​

This unique opportunity offers each of the recipients a chance to learn from and network with world leaders in women’s mental health, as well as to share and impart their own unique perspectives on contemporary challenges facing women around the globe.

We look forward to welcoming these distinguished guests to Melbourne and to the Second Asia-Pacific Conference on Women’s Mental Health, and to seeing how each of these five brilliant researchers will help to shape the future of Women’s Mental Health within their own local scientific and medical communities.
