The RACGP Foundation
Invest in your future
Australian general practitioners (GPs) are at the forefront of community health, providing over 125 million general practice consultations each year.
You may be aware of the role The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) plays in supporting GPs in their pursuit of clinical excellence, delivering advocacy, professional development, e-health and a range of products and supporting services.
You may, however, not be as aware of the RACGP’s commitment to research through The RACGP Foundation. The RACGP Foundation supports research in general practice, through the attraction and dissemination of funding for key projects, offering research grants, awards and scholarships which underpin the profession’s commitment to continuous improvement.
