Each year, the association offers a number of fellowships of up to US$40,000 to Australian researchers for advanced research (graduate or postgraduate) in the US.

Fields of research supported by the fellowships include science, sustainability, neurology, paediatrics, medicine, technology, mathematics, engineering, geosciences and business.
