Category 1: Australian Studies Fellowships for Malaysian academics, postgraduate and other researchers who wish to further their expertise in Australia related topics, mainly in the fields of humanities and economics.

Category 2: Malaysian Studies Fellowships for Australian researchers, similarly to research topics in Malaysian Studies.

Category 3: Research Excellence Fellowships designed to give the opportunity for Malaysian scholars to collaborate with Australian academics who are distinguished in the international arena for their ground-breaking research.
