Do you have a burning research idea that could change general practice?

Whether you are an emerging or experienced researcher, this is your opportunity to turn that idea into real impact.

The Australian General Practice Research Foundation, the philanthropic arm of RACGP, has a record number of grants opening 11 May to 22 June 2026, with funding from $1K to $100K to support GP-led research tackling the challenges facing general practice across Australia.

A diverse range of grants are available, spanning diabetes, medication guidelines, GP wellbeing, and more.

This is your opportunity to shape national priorities, strengthen general practice, and improve the health of communities.
