ASID Trainee's Weekend Travel Grant Application Form
 
These grants have been funded jointly by the Department of Health and Aged Care and RACP, to support access to education and training. Your answers to the below questions will be reviewed by members of the INTREPID committee and ASID board in order to decide grant allocation for the 2025 Trainee's Weekend event.
 
Applicants must be current or incoming RACP or RCPA trainees in infectious diseases or microbiology. Applications will be scored based on criteria related to rural/remoteness, training year, access to previous trainee's weekend events, indigenous heritage, financial need, and your motivations for wanting to attend the trainee's weekend event.
 
In the spirit of fairness to your colleagues/friends, please answer all questions honestly. Whilst we would love to support every trainee to attend, it is possible that some applicants will be unsuccessful. We will endeavour to advise all applicants regarding the outcome of their application by the 22nd of October 2025.
