The ANZSPD - Alistair Devlin Memorial Grant

At the ANZSPD Federal Council meeting in Melbourne in February 2014, it was decided that the existing ANZSPD Grant be renamed The ANZSPD Alistair Devlin Memorial Grant in honour of Alistair’s memory and to acknowledge his most significant contribution  to the society.  

One grant per year will be provided to the value of AUD $2000 with eligibility restricted to current Full Members of ANZSPD (Inc.)

The grant is available for:

• An oral health initiative in Australia or New Zealand which may be an educational resource or a broad community initiative
• A community research project directly related to child oral health
• Support for an oral health project in Asia, Oceania or the Pacific which might be for materials, instruments, books for a school, etc.

Applications are open for the ANZSPD Alistair Devlin Memorial Grant on 1st June 2024 and close on the 30th June 2025. 

Applications will need to contact the Federal Secretary ANZSPD (Inc.) (fed.secretary@anzspd.org.au) for full application guidelines.

Federal Council will then adjudicate.

The successful applicant will be required to provide a report to the Federal Council, suitable for publication in the Society’s newsletter, Synopses, by September 2020.

The Federal Council may choose not to award a grant in the event of there being no suitable applications.
