In 2022, the NUI Dr Garret FitzGerald Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Higher Education Studies was offered to NUI graduates. The Fellowship is valued at approx. €40,000 plus Research Support Funding totalling €2,500. This is a one-year Fellowship and will be held in a member institution of the NUI federation.

This Fellowship was established to honour the memory of the late Chancellor of the National University of Ireland. The objective of the Fellowship is, on the basis of original and independent research, to expand knowledge in the field of Higher Education Studies, and provide constructive and meaningful contributions to issues of contemporary societal significance. The published research is expected to initiate and/or contribute to regional or national debate.

In 2022, the NUI Dr Garret FitzGerald Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Higher Education Studies was awarded to Dr Niamh O’Mahoney, a graduate of University College Cork. Niamh will use the Fellowship to conduct research in UCC on the learning experience of neurodiverse students in tertiary STEM education.
