AIDA FUNDING


AIDA JMO and Student Funding Opportunities

SUBMIT YOUR FUNDING APPLICATION HERE


AIDA are delighted to provide funding opportunities for PRIDoC 2024 to eligible AIDA members, however these are limited and not guaranteed to all applicants. 

To apply for funding, you must be a current AIDA member and able to take leave from your university or employer. AIDA funding will be prioritised for members attending to receive their graduation or Fellowship stethoscopes, subsequent funding will be allocated through the selection process.

Applicants attending to receive a stethoscope will be required to provide proof of graduation.

If you are a JMO (JMO/PGY1) and not expecting to receive a stethoscope, you may wish to consider other funding opportunities including:
  • Funding opportunities through your university or college, workplace or supporting community organisations. 
  • Letters of support can be provided by AIDA when requesting funding from these sources.
TOP TIP: Submit a Poster or Quick and The Deadly abstract to show the reviewers that you are contributing to the 2024 program!

You will be asked to provide card details to assist us in booking you a room, should you be successful.

  3. Complete an application and provide a 250-word statement and other required documents - such as leave approval confirmation and graduation certificate. If you have not recently graduated you must provide proof of enrolment in your current program.
