Over the subsequent five years, this funding supported a cohort of Indigenous health scholars to develop their research: Dawn Bessarab, Ngiare Brown, Juli Coffin, Janet Hammill, Jocelyn Jones, Cheryl Kickett-Tucker, Daniel McAullay, Helen Milroy, Ted Wilkes, and Michael Wright. The NHMRC grant enabled them to complete PhDs, continue postdoctoral research, improve their writing and statistical skills, travel nationally and internationally to establish networks, and work collectively to transform Indigenous health care to be community-led, ethical, and self-determined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking in areas as varied as gender roles, child and maternal health, ear infections, racial identity and self-esteem, bullying, drugs and alcohol, and caregiving, these scholars enhanced not only the lives of Indigenous communities but also the knowledge and understanding of their non-Indigenous mentors and supervisors, creating a \"two-way\" learning experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspirational and practical, this book details the unique life stories of each scholar and how the NHMRC grant provided them the opportunity to become leaders in their fields.
