Welcome to the RACGP online grant application service, powered by SmartyGrants.
Diabetes is one of the most frequently managed chronic conditions in general practice, and its prevalence has been increasing in recent years. General practitioners provide most of the medical care to people with diabetes.
Diabetes Australia was established in 1984 as the national peak body for diabetes in Australia providing a single, powerful, collective voice for people living with diabetes, their families and carers. A non-profit organisation, Diabetes Australia works in partnership with diabetes consumer organisations, health professionals, educators and researchers to minimise the impact of diabetes in the Australian community. Diabetes Australia is committed to turning diabetes around through awareness, prevention, detection, management and the search for a cure. The RACGP is a key contributor to the improvement of Australian health through general practice. Together, the RACGP and Diabetes Australia have established a grant to support research into diabetes in general practice.
One grant of up to $60,000 is available for a period of one year to fund research into diabetes management, prevention, and/or clinical care in general practice.
This grant is made available by Diabetes Australia with matched funds provided by the RACGP Foundation.
To be eligible for the RACGP Foundation / Diabetes Australia Research Grant, the principal investigator must be a general practitioner or general practice registrar.
