This grant aims to support a national scoping project that generates a contemporary, evidence-based understanding of the challenges and unmet needs experienced by general practitioners in managing diabetes in Australian general practice.

Research to identify and prioritise the most significant current and emerging challenges and unmet needs faced by general practitioners in managing diabetes in Australian general practice, including the underlying drivers of these challenges and their implications for care delivery.

The project must:

• incorporate GP perspectives alongside the experiences and priorities of people living with diabetes
• produce a clearly defined and prioritised set of challenges (for example, top 2-3 priority challenges or ranked domains), AND
• provide actionable recommendations to inform future research, policy and funding priorities

Projects should be national in scope or demonstrate clear relevance across Australian general practice.

One grant of up to $90,000 (excluding GST) may be available.

To be eligible for this grant, the principal investigator must:

• be a general practitioner or general practice registrar, AND
• have an active leadership role in the project and sufficient experience in leading and conducting research in collaboration with the proposed research team to ensure its successful completion.
