IMPORTANT: Please read information below to assist you in completing your application online.
Welcome to the RACP Foundation online application system.
If you have not previously applied for a grant or award using this portal, you will need to register and create a new login.
Prior to completing the application form:
You are allowed to submit more than one abstract in separate submissions. However, you may only be selected to present one abstract at the regional presentations.
Your research may have been undertaken anywhere in Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand or overseas. However, you must apply under the region in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand that you will be residing in at the time of the regional events.
No travel is provided to attend the regional events and an online presentation option is not guaranteed.
Applicants residing overseas may apply, however no international travel is offered.
Applicants must submit an application using this online application form. Hard copies and emailed applications will not be accepted.
Eligibility
Trainees: You must currently be an RACP trainee actively training in any of the College Divisions, Faculties or Chapters.
New Fellows: You must be actively undertaking Post-Fellowship training with the RACP (see the Post-Fellowship Training section on the Variations in Training page), and you must have been admitted to Fellowship within the last 12 months.
Interruption of Training: An applicant on an Interruption of Training may be accepted, provided that the Interruption does not exceed 12 continuous months at the time of application.
Note: Overseas Trained Physicians undertaking RACP training are not eligible to apply.
Abstract
Your work/project must either be unpublished or have been published within the past 12 months.
Submission Type
Select the category that best aligns with your topic, which may not necessarily be your training specialty.
For example, if you're an Adult Medicine trainee but your topic best aligns with paediatric medicine, then you should apply under the Paediatric Medicine category.
Region
You must select the region that you will be residing in at the time of the regional events, which will occur between October and December this year.

If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.
Hint: Also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.
You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
