RACP Research Awards and Career Grants

Through the RACP Foundation, we’re able to offer financial support to Fellows and trainees pursuing careers in medical research. Over 50 different fellowships, scholarships and grants are available annually, totalling over $2.5 million in funding.

Career Development Fellowships are intended for mid-career researchers who completed their research higher degree over 7 years ago and/or researchers who are not eligible for either Research Entry Scholarship or Research Establishment Fellowships.

Research Establishment Fellowships are available to Fellows and Advanced Trainees who want to establish themselves in a research career.

Research Entry Scholarships provide up to $45,000 stipend support to Advanced Trainees and Fellows who are at the start of their research careers, helping them undertake a Masters, PhD or equivalent higher degree and build a foundation for a future in medical research.

Research Development Grants provide from $10,000 to $30,000 in funding for smaller research projects for beginning researchers. Applicants can undertake a short-term or part-time research project.

Travel Grants provide from $10,000 to $30,000 funding to support RACP trainees and Fellows undertaking short periods of research, study or international collaboration.
