Sexual Health Society Of Victoria is excited to announce the 2023 Educational Support Grants.
Each year, the SHSOV offers support grants to allow applications to undertake a professional educational activity in the field of sexual health or an allied discipline. These grants are intended to provide ‘top-up’ or support funding for those who may otherwise be unable to undertake the activities for which funding is sought.
Funding Information
- The maximum amount of funding available per applicant in 2023 is $500. The total amount awarded will be decided by the committee, and may be lower than requested.
How the funds may be used
- Assistance with costs (registration, accommodation, travel) to attend a conference or course
- Assistance with costs (accommodation, travel) to undertake a clinical attachment or training
- Assistance with costs to establish or complete a research project
Eligibility Criteria
- Anyone living or working in Victoria with a professional or other interest in sexual health or a related field, such as family planning and reproductive health, may apply. SHSOV membership is not a prerequisite. Successful applicants from previous years may apply again, however preference will be given to new applicants.
Selection Criteria
- Each application will be marked based on the following criteria:
- Aligns with the society’s goals: The extent to which the proposed activity aligns with the society’s commitment to multidisciplinary practice and knowledge exchange.
- Benefit to the applicant: The extent to which the grant will benefit the applicant in achieving their goals and in their career.
- Advancing the society’s profile: Capacity of the proposed activity to contribute to the growth/awareness of the SHSOV.
- Demonstrated need: Applicants have demonstrated a lack of alternative funding, or that grant fund will be used as a ‘top up’ when large amounts of funding are required.
