The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) supports research and education that benefits general practice, rural general practice and rural hospital medicine through three funding rounds each year.
Applications for the final funding round of 2024 opened 13 August.
Applications are welcomed from anyone who is undertaking research in this field. You do not have to be a doctor or a member of the College to apply. Grants are typically in the range of $5,000 - $20,000 for individual applications although up to $40,000 can be awarded.
Previous successful applications have included research into exploring inequity in access to medications for type 2 diabetes, rural placements of health professionals, capitation fees, and identifying threshold concepts to contribute to enhanced general practice teaching and learning.
Applications close on Tuesday 24 September and will be considered by the College’s Research and Education Committee (REC).
More information, including guidelines, an application form, and contact information for questions can be found on the RNZCGP website.
