Congratulations to Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health researchers Dr Kate Hodgson, Dr Sarah Lensen & Dr Anthea Lindquist who are all recipients of the 2025 Strategic Grants for Outstanding Women.
Launched in 2019, the Melbourne Medical School’s Strategic Grants for Outstanding Women (SGOW) support high-performing early and mid-career women in academia to advance towards senior academic and leadership roles.
Offered biennially, the scheme provides support over a two-year period for activities that enhance academic capability, productivity, and profile, with the intention of progressing recipients’ careers.
The SGOW scheme is administered by the Melbourne Medical School and generously supported by our health service partners. This year MMS received over 100 applications from a truly remarkable field of diverse and talented women researchers, clinicians and educators who all made significant impacts in their speciality areas.
