The Grants Advisory Committees (GACs) are skills-based committees formed to provide guidance to the RACP Foundation. The GACs generously contribute their expertise and time assessing applications for scholarships, fellowships or awards offered through the RACP Foundation.
The GACs direction allows available funding to go towards supporting basic and clinical medical research and medical education, health services research and population health research in accordance with the College Strategic Plan (PDF).
Applications are assessed on the basis of:
- research or educational excellence
- the merit of the proposed program of research or study
- the specific requirements of individual awards
- the priority areas for funding listed under each award
- any other criteria determined by the committee
