The jury was unable to reach a unanimous or majority verdict on two other charges.

The trial had heard Barwood obtained or tried to obtain about $700,000 from different organisations between 2011 and 2013 in relation to a Parkinson's disease study that never happened.

Barwood also copied the papers of another academic that she then passed off as her own to apply for grants, fellowship and travel funding.

The mother of one was released on bail overnight to return to court for sentencing on Tuesday.
