Education Research Grants (ERGs) provide an opportunity for organisations to establish and develop research partnerships with academic institutions in their training region. Organisations need to ensure direct involvement of an academic institution’s General Practice Department, Primary Health Care Department or equivalent.

These organisations include, but are not limited to:

• Rural Clinical Schools
• Universities
• Rural Hubs
• Rural Generalist Coordination Units (RGCUs)
• Rural Workforce Organisations.

ERGs aim to continue to build research capability in medical education and training with a specific focus on education improvement. The overarching objective is to develop evidence-based education initiatives that increase training capacity and improve educational outcomes, specifically:

• Exploration of innovative education models with a view to building sustainable training capacity;
• Identification, implementation and evaluation of new and existing education improvement initiatives suitable for regionalised primary care settings;
• Building the knowledge base for education improvement through increased research activities and publications;
• Promoting collaboration and engagement in research and development initiatives directly relating to education improvement.

For further information on ERGs and how to apply contact the education services team at training@acrrm.org.au or phone 1800 223 226.
